Key ingredients
Lamb meat (shoulder or leg), olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, onions. Keto vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or cabbage.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request NO POTATOES. Ask for extra non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or cabbage, cooked alongside the lamb. Ensure no flour-thickened sauces.
