Jagnjetina na ražnju
Spit-Roasted Lamb (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
Whole lamb, slow-roasted on a spit over an open fire, resulting in crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. Traditionally served with potatoes, but for keto, it should be accompanied by a simple green salad or grilled low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Whole lamb, salt, pepper, olive oil (for basting). Served with lettuce, cucumber, olive oil dressing.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Opt for a simple green salad (lettuce, cucumber, oil/vinegar) or grilled zucchini/bell peppers instead.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Jagnjetina na ražnju, molim bez krompira, pirinča ili hleba. Samo jagnjetina.
Jagnjetina na ražnju, please, without potatoes, rice, or bread. Just the lamb.
