Crucially, request this dish *without* potatoes or any other root vegetables. Focus solely on the slow-cooked meat. A simple green salad or a small portion of steamed non-starchy vegetables can be requested as a side.
Watch out for
Traditionally served with a substantial portion of potatoes, which must be explicitly omitted. Check for hidden carrots or other higher-carb vegetables often added to stews.
