Jagnjetina ispod sača (Lamb and Vegetables Baked Under the Bell)
Lamb and Vegetables Baked Under the Bell (without potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for *no potatoes*. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent lamb (sometimes goat or veal) slow-cooked with vegetables under a traditional metal dome ('sač') covered with hot coals. The long cooking process renders the meat incredibly tender and flavorful. Traditionally includes potatoes.
Key ingredients
Lamb, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (limited), carrots (limited), herbs (rosemary, thyme), salt, pepper, its own rendered fat.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for *no potatoes*. Request minimal root vegetables like carrots. Emphasize lamb, onions, and bell peppers. Ensure the dish is cooked in its own ample fat.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a standard inclusion. Excessive amounts of higher-carb root vegetables (carrots) or certain sauces.
