Veal Head Under the Bell
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Montenegrin dishes.
What it is
A traditional, very rich dish where a veal head is slow-cooked under a 'sač' bell. It yields incredibly tender, fatty meat and connective tissues, a regional delicacy.
Key ingredients
Veal head, onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs (e.g., bay leaf, rosemary).
Optional tweaks
None needed. Ensure no potatoes are added (less common with this cut, but always good to confirm).
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim vas, bez krompira i skrobnog povrća. Umesto toga, grilovane tikvice, patlidžan ili zelena salata sa uljem i sirćetom.
No potatoes or starchy vegetables, please. I'd like grilled zucchini, eggplant, or a green salad with oil and vinegar instead.
Watch out for
None, if prepared authentically without additional starches.
