Key ingredients
Bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, chili peppers (optional), olive oil, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no bread is served alongside for dipping. Request a generous amount of olive oil.
If you order it anyway, say this (Arabic)
الحميص من فضلك بدون خبز. أريد كمية وفيرة من زيت الزيتون.
For the Hmiss, please no bread for dipping. Can I have a generous amount of olive oil?
Watch out for
Large portions of bell peppers and tomatoes can contribute to net carbs. Generally very keto-friendly if oil is plentiful.
