Épaule d'Agneau Braisée aux Olives et Tomates Séchées
Braised Lamb Shoulder with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added to the braise. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful and tender lamb shoulder, slow-braised until it falls off the bone. The rich sauce is infused with the savory notes of olives and sun-dried tomatoes, creating a robust and naturally keto-friendly dish when served without starches.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder, olive oil, garlic, onions (small amount), dry red wine, beef broth, sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), Kalamata or Niçoise olives, fresh rosemary, fresh oregano, bay leaf, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes or other starchy vegetables are added to the braise. Confirm the sauce is not thickened with flour. Request low-carb vegetables (e.g., sautéed spinach or cauliflower purée) as an accompaniment.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made sun-dried tomato paste, flour used for dredging or sauce thickening, excessive onions or carrots in the braising liquid.
