Arni Souvla
Spit-Roasted Lamb
Yes, keto as served. About 1g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Greek dishes.
What it is
A whole lamb (or large cuts) slowly spit-roasted over charcoal for many hours, creating incredibly tender, juicy meat with a beautifully crispy skin. A traditional festive and celebratory dish.
Key ingredients
Lamb, salt, coarse black pepper, dried oregano, lemon (used for basting, optional).
Optional tweaks
Simply enjoy the meat. Request 'horis patates' (without potatoes) or any other starchy accompaniments often served with roasted meats.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Αρνί Σούβλα, παρακαλώ. Χωρίς πατάτες ή άλλα αμυλούχα συνοδευτικά.
Arni Souvla, please. No potatoes or any starchy side dishes.
Watch out for
None inherent in the meat itself. Minimal trace carbs from herbs or lemon basting. The only risk is if starchy sides are inadvertently included.
