Smoked Pork Knuckle
Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Slovak dishes.
What it is
A massive, slow-cooked smoked pork knuckle, often roasted or boiled until exceptionally tender, with crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. This is a very generous and satisfying dish, a true celebration of pork and fat, popular in Slovak pubs.
Key ingredients
Smoked pork knuckle, garlic, onions, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt (minimal due to smoking), water for cooking.
Optional tweaks
Simply request no potato, bread, or pastry sides that might accompany it. Focus on the meat and skin, served perhaps with mustard or horseradish (check for sugar in condiments).
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Prosím, žiadny chlieb ani zemiakové prílohy. Chcel by som minimum chrenu a horčice, alebo bez cukru, ak je to možné.
No bread or potato sides, please. I'd prefer minimal horseradish and mustard, or sugar-free if available.
Watch out for
Potato sides (fries, mashed potatoes), bread/rolls, sweet glazes sometimes used in roasting, hidden sugar in accompanying mustard or horseradish.
