Sautéed Liver with Onions (Pechenka z tsybuleyu)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour is used to dust the liver or thicken any accompanying sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender slices of beef or chicken liver quickly sautéed with caramelized onions, often served with a rich pan gravy. A naturally keto-friendly dish when prepared without starchy additions.
Key ingredients
Beef liver (or chicken liver), onion, butter/lard, salt, pepper, beef broth (optional, for sauce), sour cream (optional).
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used to dust the liver or thicken any accompanying sauce. Request without traditional potato or grain sides. Ask for onions to be minimally caramelized to reduce natural sugar content.
Watch out for
Flour dusting/thickening, excessive caramelization of onions, high-carb side dishes (e.g., mashed potatoes).
