Yes, with a tweak: mUST request that the rice be omitted or replaced with riced cauliflower. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Cabbage leaves stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat, traditionally rice, and seasonings, then simmered in a tomato-based sauce.
Key ingredients
Cabbage leaves, ground beef/pork mix, onion, tomato paste, broth, sour cream, salt, pepper, dill. (Keto version replaces rice with riced cauliflower or omits it).
How to make it keto
MUST request that the rice be omitted or replaced with riced cauliflower. Confirm the tomato sauce is not sweetened; request a simple tomato broth base with sour cream instead of overly sweet ketchup-based sauces.
Watch out for
Rice (traditional), sugar in tomato sauce/ketchup, high-carb side dishes.
