Badımcan, Bibər və Pomidor Dolması (Düyüsüz)
Keto Stuffed Eggplant, Pepper, and Tomato (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the stuffing is prepared 'düyüsüz' (without rice). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Hollowed-out eggplant, bell peppers, and tomatoes stuffed with a seasoned ground lamb or beef mixture, then slowly cooked in a savory broth. This keto version explicitly omits the traditional rice from the stuffing.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb or beef, onion, fresh herbs (dill, mint, parsley), salt, black pepper, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, tomato paste (minimal), cooking oil, broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm the stuffing is prepared 'düyüsüz' (without rice). Inquire about the broth and tomato paste for any added sugars or starches.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Bu, düyüsüz hazırlanıb? Xahiş edirəm, bulyon və tomat pastasında əlavə şəkər və ya nişasta olmadığını təsdiq edin.
Is this prepared 'düyüsüz' (without rice)? Please confirm no added sugar or starch in the broth or tomato paste.
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing (must omit), hidden sugar in tomato paste or cooking broth, natural carbs from the vegetables themselves (eggplant, pepper, tomato) if consumed in very large quantities.
