Jagnjetina ispod sača
Lamb Roasted Under the Bell (Sač) with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request the omission of potatoes and any other starchy vegetables. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Incredibly tender lamb, slow-roasted for hours under a metal 'bell' (sač) covered with hot coals, allowing the meat to cook in its own juices. Traditionally served with potatoes, this keto-friendly version omits the potatoes and is served with slow-cooked non-starchy vegetables like cabbage or bell peppers.
Key ingredients
Lamb, onion, garlic, bell peppers, cabbage, olive oil, spices (salt, pepper, rosemary).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request the omission of potatoes and any other starchy vegetables. Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables. Confirm no flour-based gravies are used.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Jagnjetina ispod sača, molim vas bez krompira i skrobnog povrća. Može li više niskougljenohidratnog povrća? Potvrdite da sos nije na bazi brašna.
Jagnjetina ispod sača, please omit potatoes and starchy vegetables. Could I have extra non-starchy vegetables instead? Confirm no flour-based gravy.
