Pečeno Jagnje/Jaretina pod Sačem (Keto verzija)
Slow-Cooked Lamb or Goat under the Bell with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender lamb or goat meat slow-cooked for hours under a traditional metal bell (sač) with a mix of Mediterranean herbs and fats. Traditionally served with potatoes, this keto version replaces them with roasted low-carb vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
Key ingredients
Lamb or goat meat, onion, bell pepper, zucchini, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes. Ensure low-carb vegetables are used as sides.
Watch out for
Vegetables like onions and bell peppers can contribute carbs if consumed in very large quantities. Rarely, hidden flour in pan drippings/sauce (unlikely for Sač).
