Cured Pork Fatback with Garlic (Keto Appetizer)
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Ukrainian dishes.
What it is
Thinly sliced, cured pork fatback, traditionally served with fresh garlic and often black pepper. This rich, high-fat appetizer is a staple in Ukrainian cuisine and naturally keto-friendly when served without bread.
Key ingredients
Cured pork fatback, fresh garlic, black pepper
Optional tweaks
Explicitly request without any accompanying bread (e.g., rye bread or pampushky). Confirm no sugar is added to the curing process, which is rare for traditional salo but worth verifying.
Watch out for
Always served with rye bread or pampushky (garlic rolls) in traditional settings, which must be omitted. Ensure no honey is brushed on for glaze (very uncommon for this dish, but a general restaurant risk).
