Jagnjetina Ispod Sača (sa keto povrćem)
Lamb Under the Bell with Keto Vegetables

What it is
Tender lamb, slow-cooked for several hours under a traditional metal bell (sač) covered in hot coals. This cooking method renders the meat exceptionally succulent and infused with rich flavors from its own juices and added herbs and vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, olive oil, onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper. (Potatoes, if present, are omitted).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Confirm other vegetables are limited to low-to-moderate carb options like onions, bell peppers, and carrots in moderation.
