Pečena Teletina s Keto Povrćem
Roast Veal with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or starchy root vegetables. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Croatian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender roasted veal, typically a leg or shoulder cut, slow-cooked to perfection with aromatic herbs. Served with a simple pan sauce made from the natural drippings and requested with low-carb roasted vegetables instead of traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Veal (leg/shoulder), olive oil, lard, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, bay leaf, onion (minimal for flavor), carrots (minimal for flavor), roasted broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, or green beans.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or starchy root vegetables. Ask for a side of roasted non-starchy vegetables or a simple green salad. Ensure any pan sauce is not thickened with flour.
