What it is
A hearty and comforting stew of slow-roasted pork chunks, braised with cabbage, onions, and mushrooms, simmered until rich and tender in a savory broth. This keto version omits traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/belly, cabbage, onion, mushrooms, unsweetened tomato paste, beef broth, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, dill, cooking oil/lard.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no potatoes or carrots. Confirm no flour-based thickeners are used for the sauce. Inquire if any sugar is added to the braised cabbage and ask for its omission.
Watch out for
Traditionally includes potatoes and often carrots. Sauces might be thickened with flour. Some restaurants might add a touch of sugar to braised cabbage. Cabbage, onion, mushrooms, and tomato paste all contribute carbs in a generous portion.
