About this category

Eastern European cooking is warming and filling, built on meat, cabbage, root vegetables, sour cream and dill. The potatoes, dumplings and bread need to go, but the rest suits keto well. Szegedin goulash with sauerkraut combines tender pork with tangy fermented cabbage, and a pumpkin beef goulash with paprika and sour cream brings a slightly sweet, earthy note.

Beets contain more carbs than most vegetables, so with borscht with beef and sour cream it pays to watch the portion and fill up on the meat and cabbage. Chicken Kiev with herb butter shows how a breaded classic can work without wheat breadcrumbs, and shashlik needs only a good marinade and a hot grill to turn out juicy and charred.

For dessert, paskha is an Easter dish of quark with almonds and vanilla that becomes keto-friendly with erythritol in place of sugar. Sauerkraut and pickles are useful staples in this kitchen, adding sourness and crunch for very few carbs; choose ones without added sugar. Solyanka with smoked pork loin and pickles makes good use of both and reheats well.
