Jagnjeća Plećka sa Suvim Šljivama (Keto verzija)
Lamb Shoulder with Dried Plums (Keto Version)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure dried plums are used very sparingly as flavor, not as a significant portion. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Serbian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender lamb shoulder, slow-cooked to perfection, infused with the subtle sweet-tart flavor of dried plums. The plums are used as a flavoring agent in the rich sauce, not as a main component.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder, dried plums (a few for flavor), onions (minimal), garlic, red wine (optional), beef broth, olive oil or lard, bay leaf, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure dried plums are used very sparingly as flavor, not as a significant portion. Sauce should not be thickened with flour. Avoid serving with bread or any starchy sides.
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Šljive samo za ukus, bez brašna u sosu. Služiti bez hleba i skrobnih priloga.
Use plums sparingly for flavor, no flour in the sauce. Serve without bread or starchy sides.
Watch out for
Dried plums are high in sugar, so quantity must be strictly controlled. Onions add carbs. Red wine contains residual sugars.
