Telečji Kotlet z Žajbljem in Pršutom (Keto Verzija)
Keto Veal Chop with Sage and Prosciutto
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Slovenian dishes.
What it is
A tender veal chop, pan-seared and then topped with a slice of prosciutto and fresh sage leaves. It's finished with a simple, unthickened sauce made from pan drippings, a touch of white wine (or broth), and butter, similar to a Saltimbocca preparation.
Key ingredients
Veal chop, prosciutto, fresh sage leaves, butter, olive oil, dry white wine (or veal/chicken broth), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Request no high-carb side dishes. If concerned about wine, ask for broth instead.
Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim, brez moke ali škroba za zgostitev omake. Brez visokoogljičnih prilog. Če je mogoče, jušna osnova namesto vina v omaki.
No flour or starch to thicken the sauce, please. And no high-carb sides. Broth instead of wine in the sauce, if possible.
Watch out for
Sauces can sometimes contain thickeners or sugar. Wine reduction contributes minimal carbs but can be swapped for broth for strict keto. Hidden sugars in cured meats.
