Roasted Pork/Beef with Braised Cabbage (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request to omit potatoes entirely. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender, slow-roasted pieces of pork or beef, often cooked with onions and spices until incredibly flavorful and falling apart. Traditionally served with potatoes, for a keto version it should be paired with a generous portion of braised cabbage instead.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder (or beef cuts like chuck), cabbage, onion, carrots (minimal for flavor), minimal tomato paste, bay leaf, black pepper, cooking oil, broth.
How to make it keto
Request to omit potatoes entirely. Ensure the braised cabbage is prepared without excessive carrots or any added sugar, focusing on natural savory flavors.
Watch out for
Potatoes (if not omitted), large quantities of carrots, hidden sugars in braised cabbage preparations, sugary tomato paste.
