Keto Polnjene Paprike (Brez Riža)
Keto Stuffed Peppers (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no rice or breadcrumbs are used in the meat filling. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bell peppers stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat (typically beef and pork) and seasonings, simmered in a tomato sauce. Modified to omit the traditional rice filling for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, eggs, spices (paprika, salt, pepper), tomato sauce (crushed tomatoes, water, herbs).
How to make it keto
Ensure no rice or breadcrumbs are used in the meat filling. Request the tomato sauce be made without added sugar or flour/cornstarch thickeners. Ask for a side of green vegetables instead of any starchy accompaniment.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim potrdite, da v nadevu ni riža ali drobtin. Paradižnikovo omako želim brez dodanega sladkorja ali zgoščevalcev. Prosim zeleno zelenjavo namesto škrobne priloge.
Please confirm no rice or breadcrumbs in the filling. Request the tomato sauce without added sugar or thickeners. A side of green vegetables instead of starch, please.
Watch out for
