Keto Teletina Ispod Sača
Slow-cooked Veal 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
Tender veal, slow-cooked 'ispod sača' (under a metal or ceramic bell covered with embers) to achieve maximum tenderness and flavor. This keto modification ensures only low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and zucchini are roasted alongside the veal in its natural juices, omitting the traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Veal meat (shoulder/leg), olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, bell peppers, zucchini, onion, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
