Zharkoe (Keto Pot Roast)
Keto Ukrainian Pot Roast with Root Vegetables (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly 'no potatoes'. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ukrainian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A slow-cooked, rich pot roast with tender chunks of beef or pork, simmered with low-carb vegetables in a savory broth. Modified to omit potatoes and other high-carb root vegetables, focusing on meat and keto-friendly produce.
Key ingredients
Beef or pork chunks, beef broth, onion, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots (minimal for flavor), garlic, bay leaf, herbs, sour cream (optional), cooking oil/butter.
How to make it keto
Strictly 'no potatoes'. Ask for keto-friendly vegetables like mushrooms, celery, bell peppers. If carrots are used, request a very minimal amount. Ensure no flour-thickened gravy.
Watch out for
Potatoes (main risk), high quantities of carrots or other root vegetables, flour-thickened gravies, potential hidden sugars in sauces.
