Spišská pochúťka (bez knedle)
Spiš Delicacy (Pork and Mushroom Stew, no dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potato or flour dumplings (knedle). About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A creamy, rich stew originating from the Spiš region of Slovakia. It typically features tender pieces of pork (or beef) with mushrooms, often in a savory, paprika-infused sour cream sauce. The traditional dumplings are omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Pork/beef, mushrooms, onions, sour cream, paprika, broth, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potato or flour dumplings (knedle). Confirm no flour thickeners (múka) in the sauce or ask for clarification on sauce ingredients. Ask for a side of pickled vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím Spišskú pochúťku bez ryže, halušiek, knedle a zemiakov. Je omáčka zahustená bez múky/škrobu a nie sú v nej výrazné sacharidové zeleniny?
I'd like Spišská pochúťka without rice, halušky, knedľa, or potatoes. Is the sauce thickened without flour or starch, and are there no prominent high-carb vegetables?
Watch out for
Flour thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars, served with high-carb sides. Mushrooms and onions contribute some carbs.
