Pecora in Cappotto
Stewed Mutton
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rustic Sardinian stew featuring tender mutton (older sheep meat) slow-cooked with aromatic herbs, vegetables like celery and onion, and sometimes a touch of tomato. The long cooking time breaks down the meat, creating a rich and savory dish. Naturally keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Mutton (shoulder or leg), celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, white wine (dry), tomato paste (optional, minimal), extra virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, water or broth.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no potatoes or other high-carb root vegetables are added, or request their omission. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener.
Say this to the waiter (Italian)
Pecora in Cappotto: Per favore, senza patate o altre radici ad alto contenuto di carboidrati. E mi conferma che non ci sono farina o amidi come addensanti?
Pecora in Cappotto: Please, no potatoes or other high-carb root vegetables. Confirm no flour or starch is used as a thickener, please.
Watch out for
Some recipes may include potatoes or a significant amount of carrots; specify omission. Tomato paste can have hidden sugars, ensure minimal use or unsweetened.
