Arni Psito
Roast Lamb (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'no potatoes' (horis patates). Almost no net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Cypriot dishes.
What it is
Succulent slow-roasted lamb, typically a shoulder or leg, simply seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes oregano. This dish is traditionally served with roast potatoes, which must be omitted for a keto diet.
Key ingredients
Lamb (shoulder or leg), olive oil, oregano, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'no potatoes' (horis patates). Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables if available, such as a side of grilled zucchini or eggplant.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Το Αρνί Ψητό χωρίς πατάτες, παρακαλώ. Αν γίνεται, με εξτρά λαχανικά, όπως ψητό κολοκύθι ή μελιτζάνα.
Arni Psito, no potatoes please. Could I have extra non-starchy vegetables instead, like grilled zucchini or eggplant?
Watch out for
Potatoes (major risk, must omit); any gravies or sauces might contain thickeners/flour (unlikely for traditional Cypriot roast lamb juice, but worth noting).
