Stuffed Peppers (Keto-Style)
Bell Peppers Stuffed with Meat (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: it is essential to confirm that no rice is used in the meat filling. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Sweet bell peppers hollowed out and filled with a savory mixture of ground meat (typically pork, beef, or a mix), sautéed onions, and spices, slow-cooked in a light tomato-based sauce. This version is modified to completely omit rice from the meat filling.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground pork/beef mix, onion, tomato paste (minimal), garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, beef broth, cooking oil, fresh dill.
How to make it keto
It is essential to confirm that no rice is used in the meat filling. Also, ensure the tomato sauce is not overly sweet or contains added sugar. Request only the stuffed peppers without any starchy sides.
Watch out for
Rice in the filling is the main risk. Sugary tomato sauce, excessive carrots in the sauce.
