Veal Tendons in Sauce
Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A traditional Serbian dish featuring veal tendons slowly cooked in a rich, savory broth with aromatics like onions and garlic. This preparation highlights the collagen-rich and fatty nature of the tendons, naturally forming a thick sauce without the need for flour. It's a deeply flavorful and unctuous meal.
Key ingredients
Veal tendons, beef broth, onions, garlic, paprika, bay leaf, black pepper, salt, cooking oil (e.g., lard or olive oil), optional bell peppers.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no flour or starchy vegetables (like potatoes or excessive carrots) are added to the sauce, and serve without any carb-heavy side dishes.
