Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Ukrainian dishes.
What it is
A savory Jewish-Ukrainian appetizer made from finely chopped pickled herring, hard-boiled eggs, butter, and onion. It's a rich and flavorful spread, naturally high in fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Pickled herring, hard-boiled eggs, unsalted butter, onion, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no bread is used as a binder (some versions may add soaked bread). Request omission of any green apple, if traditionally included in their recipe.
Watch out for
Hidden bread used as a binder or filler. Small amounts of green apple (though less common in strictly Ukrainian versions). Always served with bread for dipping, which must be avoided.
