How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm the stuffing is made without breadcrumbs or rice. Request any accompanying sauces to be unthickened and sugar-free. Ask for keto-friendly vegetable sides if desired, instead of traditional potatoes.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim, potrdite, da nadev ne vsebuje drobtin ali riža. Omaka naj bo brez zgoščevalcev in sladkorja. Namesto krompirja želim keto zelenjavne priloge.
Please confirm the stuffing has no breadcrumbs or rice. Any sauces should be unthickened and sugar-free. I'd like keto vegetable sides instead of potatoes.
