Údená Krkovička s Kyslou Kapustou (Bez Zemiakov)
Smoked Pork Neck with Sauerkraut (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no potatoes (varené zemiaky), potato dumplings, or bread. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rustic dish featuring tender slices of smoked pork neck, typically served with warm, tangy sauerkraut. This dish is inherently keto-friendly when the customary potato side is removed, allowing the rich flavors of the smoked meat and fermented cabbage to shine.
Key ingredients
Smoked pork neck, sauerkraut (braised or plain), onions, cooking oil/lard, salt, pepper. Often served with mustard and horseradish.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no potatoes (varené zemiaky), potato dumplings, or bread. Inquire about the sauerkraut preparation; ensure it's not sweetened with sugar. Mustard and horseradish are generally fine, but check for added sugars in commercial varieties if possible.
