Jagnjeće Pečenje (bez krompira)
Slow-Roasted Lamb (without Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes, which are traditionally cooked with or served alongside the lamb. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
Tender slow-roasted lamb, a traditional Montenegrin dish often prepared 'ispod sača' (under a metal bell). The meat is seasoned and cooked slowly to perfection, resulting in a rich, juicy flavor. Modified to omit customary potato accompaniment.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic, olive oil or animal fat for roasting.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, which are traditionally cooked with or served alongside the lamb. Ask for a side of plain green vegetables if available (e.g., blitva without potatoes, or a simple cabbage salad).
Watch out for
Potatoes are a standard accompaniment. Ensure no starchy thickeners are used in pan juices.
