Janjetina s Kapulom (Keto-style)
Lamb Stewed with Onions (Keto-Style, without starchy sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request no flour or starchy thickeners in the stew. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rustic stew of tender lamb pieces slow-cooked with a generous amount of onions, herbs, and spices, often served with a rich, savory sauce. The keto modification removes all starchy sides and ensures no flour-based thickeners are used in the sauce.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, yellow onions, garlic, olive oil, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, red wine (optional, cooked off), beef broth, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no flour or starchy thickeners in the stew. Ensure it is served without bread, potatoes, or other carb-heavy sides. Ask for a side of green salad or steamed keto vegetables instead.
