Navarin d'Agneau (sans Pommes de Terre)
Spring Lamb Stew with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes or other high-carb root vegetables like turnips. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty and flavorful French lamb stew, traditionally made with spring vegetables. Modified for keto by omitting potatoes and using only low-carb vegetables like green beans, mushrooms, or a small amount of carrots (if acceptable for carb budget). The rich sauce remains intact.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/leg, olive oil, butter, onions, garlic, carrots (small amount), green beans, mushrooms, lamb/beef broth, tomato paste (small amount), herbs (thyme, bay leaf), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
