Veal in Milk (Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request without potatoes or pasta. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Montenegrin food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender veal cooked slowly in milk, resulting in incredibly succulent and flavorful meat. Modified to be served with low-carb vegetable sides instead of traditional potatoes or pasta.
Key ingredients
Veal leg/shoulder, milk, butter, garlic, herbs (rosemary, bay leaf), olive oil, non-starchy vegetables (e.g., steamed green beans, sautéed spinach).
How to make it keto
Request without potatoes or pasta. Ask for steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables as a side. Be mindful that milk contains lactose, but much of the sugar might caramelize or be reduced during slow cooking; focus on the meat and minimal sauce.
Watch out for
Traditional starchy sides. Milk does contain lactose (sugar), so consuming large amounts of the cooking liquid/sauce could add carbs. Gravies might be thickened with flour.
