What it is
A traditional, robust Algerian dish featuring 'gueddid' (salted and sun-dried lamb meat), rehydrated, then lightly fried to render its fat and crisp up. It's then combined and scrambled with fresh eggs, creating a rich, savory, and naturally keto meal, often served for breakfast or brunch.
Key ingredients
Gueddid (dried cured lamb), eggs, olive oil (optional, as gueddid releases fat), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no carb fillers (like flour or breadcrumbs) are added to the eggs. Request without any accompanying bread or starchy sides.
