Meso ispod Sača (Keto Modifikovani)
Lamb or Veal under the Bell with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'bez krompira' (no potatoes). About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender meat (typically lamb or veal) slow-cooked with vegetables under a metal bell (sač) covered with hot coals. The traditional version includes potatoes, which must be replaced with low-carb alternatives for keto.
Key ingredients
Lamb or veal, onion, carrots (minimal), bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs (rosemary).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'bez krompira' (no potatoes). Ask if they can substitute with additional non-starchy vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, or cabbage. Confirm no flour is used to thicken any cooking juices.
Watch out for
The primary risk is the inclusion of potatoes. Small amounts of carrots are common but can add up. Ensure no flour-based thickeners are used in the sauce or juices.
