Montenegrin Lamb in Milk, served with Braised Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request 'bez krompira' (without potatoes). About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A unique and incredibly tender Montenegrin specialty where lamb is slow-cooked in milk until it's fall-off-the-bone soft. The milk creates a rich, creamy sauce. This keto version is served with braised low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb, milk, braised low-carb vegetables
How to make it keto
Request 'bez krompira' (without potatoes). The milk itself contains lactose (carbs), but it's largely absorbed into the meat and reduced, so the net carb impact from the sauce for a main dish is usually manageable. Ensure no flour is used as a thickener. Ask for a side of braised low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Milk contains lactose; inquire about any added thickeners (flour) or sweeteners. Potatoes are a common side.
