Piletina ispod Sača (Bez Priloga od Krompira)
Chicken Under the Bell (No Potato Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
Whole chicken or large chicken pieces, slow-cooked under a metal dome (sač) with hot embers, a traditional Montenegrin method. This results in incredibly tender and flavorful chicken in its own juices. To be keto, it's served strictly without the commonly included potato sides.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken/pieces, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, sometimes minimal onion or bell peppers.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. Focus on chicken and minimal low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or just herbs.
Watch out for
Potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables commonly cooked under the sač with the meat.
