Litsk Baghdjod Misov (Keto)
Meat-Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no rice, bulgur, or other grains are present in the meat filling. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Armenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Savory ground meat (beef and/or lamb) mixed with herbs and spices, tightly rolled in blanched cabbage leaves and slow-cooked in a tangy tomato-based sauce, with rice strictly omitted from the filling.
Key ingredients
Cabbage leaves, ground beef/lamb, onion, fresh dill, parsley, mint, tomato paste, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no rice, bulgur, or other grains are present in the meat filling. Inquire about sugar content in the tomato sauce and request minimal or no added sugar.
Watch out for
Tomato paste (hidden sugars), onions in the filling, the cabbage itself (though low carb, large portions add up), potential for starchy thickeners in the sauce.
