Slow-Cooked Lamb with Roasted Vegetables (no potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender lamb, slow-cooked for hours 'under the bell' (ispod sača) with herbs, spices, and olive oil, resulting in incredibly succulent meat. The traditional potatoes are omitted and replaced with keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder/leg, olive oil, garlic, onion (moderate), bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Ensure vegetables are keto-friendly (zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, small amount of onion/garlic).
Watch out for
Potatoes (MUST omit). Higher carb vegetables like carrots or too much onion if not specified. Hidden sugars in rubs/marinades.
