Jagnjeća Kotonja (Keto Modificirana)
Lamb and Quince Stew (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the stew. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bosnian/Herzegovinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional, aromatic stew from specific regions, combining tender lamb meat with pieces of quince, simmered in a rich, savory broth. The keto modification ensures no flour thickeners and controlled fruit portion.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/leg, quince, onion, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste (small amount), beef broth, salt, pepper, bay leaf, paprika.
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the stew. Request a minimal amount of quince if concerned about carbs, or larger pieces that can be easily avoided. Ensure no sugar is added to balance the quince's tartness.
Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
