Roasted Lamb Portion with Keto Sides

What it is
A celebratory dish of slow-roasted lamb, traditionally cooked whole until incredibly tender and falling off the bone, simply seasoned with salt and cumin. A generous portion is served focusing on the succulent meat, without traditional carb-heavy accompaniments like potatoes or couscous.
Key ingredients
Lamb, salt, cumin, olive oil (for basting/serving).
How to make it keto
Request a plain portion of roasted lamb, ensuring no carb-based stuffing, sugary marinades, or glazes. Served with only a lemon wedge, or a simple side of green salad if available (no sugary dressing).
Watch out for
None significant from the lamb itself; the primary carb risks come from traditional side dishes which must be explicitly omitted.
