Janjetina u Umaku od Kapara (bez krumpira)
Lamb in Caper Sauce (without potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, bread, or other starchy sides. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender pieces of lamb, slow-cooked in a rich and savory sauce featuring briny capers, dry white wine (or stock), olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs. This dish offers a tangy and aromatic flavor profile. Traditionally served with potatoes, for a keto option, it should be served with a simple green salad or non-starchy vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/leg, capers, olive oil, dry white wine (or chicken/beef stock), garlic, onion (minimal), fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, bread, or other starchy sides. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables (e.g., blitva, spinach, green beans) sautéed in olive oil, or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar.
