Hadžijski Ćevap
Pilgrim's Stew (Baked Meat & Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes or rice are added to the stew or served as a side. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bosnian/Herzegovinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of lamb or veal (sometimes beef) slow-cooked with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms, sealed and baked in parchment paper to retain all the succulent juices and aromas. A naturally low-carb and flavorful dish.
Key ingredients
Lamb or veal meat (cubed), onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, spices (salt, black pepper, paprika).
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes or rice are added to the stew or served as a side. Request extra olive oil for fat content.

Watch out for
Often served with rice or potatoes as a side. The vegetables themselves (onions, tomatoes, peppers) contribute natural carbs.
