Keto Jagnjetina Ispod Sača
Slow-cooked Lamb under Bell with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes; request additional low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or eggplant instead. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent lamb slow-cooked 'ispod sača' (under a metal or ceramic bell covered with embers) until fall-off-the-bone tender. Traditionally cooked with potatoes, this keto version replaces them with low-carb vegetables like zucchini, peppers, and onions, all slow-roasted in the lamb's rich juices.
Key ingredients
Lamb meat (shoulder/leg), olive oil, garlic, rosemary, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, salt, black pepper.

Watch out for
