Grilled Pork Skewers (Shashlyk) with Grilled Vegetables
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent cubes of marinated pork (or lamb/beef) threaded onto skewers and grilled over an open flame, resulting in tender, smoky meat. Typically served with simple grilled non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers and onions.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder, onion, vinegar (or lemon juice), various spices (paprika, black pepper, coriander), bell peppers, zucchini, cooking oil for grilling.
Optional tweaks
Confirm the marinade is sugar-free. Request extra non-starchy grilled vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, onions) instead of any potato, rice, or bread sides.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (less common in authentic Ukrainian shashlyk, but always good to check). Starchy side dishes like potatoes or rice.
