Minced Meat Skewers with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: strictly request no lepinja (flatbread), no fries. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A popular Balkan dish, consisting of savory grilled finger-shaped skewers of seasoned minced meat (typically beef, lamb, or a mix). This keto version is served without traditional lepinja (flatbread) or fries, instead accompanied by high-fat, low-carb sides like kajmak and a simple green salad.
Key ingredients
Ground beef/lamb/mixed meat, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper. Keto sides: kajmak, mixed green salad with olive oil dressing. (Small portion of ajvar, if available, can be included, but confirm low sugar).
How to make it keto
Strictly request no lepinja (flatbread), no fries. Ask for extra kajmak and a generous green salad. Inquire about the sugar content of ajvar if served.
Watch out for
Lepinja (flatbread), fries, high sugar content in commercial ajvar or ketchup-based sauces. Possible, though less common for authentic recipes, addition of breadcrumbs to the meat mixture.
