Jagnjetina ispod sača (Slow-Cooked Lamb with Keto Greens)
Slow-Cooked Lamb with Keto Greens (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request to omit all potatoes and any other high-carb vegetables. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender lamb traditionally slow-cooked 'under the bell' (sač) with a rich, savory flavor. The restaurant version is typically served with roasted potatoes, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Lamb, onions, garlic, olive oil, herbs (rosemary, thyme), braised greens (e.g., blitva/chard, spinach).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request to omit all potatoes and any other high-carb vegetables. Ask for extra braised greens (like chard or spinach) cooked with olive oil and garlic instead. Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
