Badımcan Dolması (Keto Adaptasiya Olunmuş)
Keto Stuffed Eggplant (Meat-heavy, No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no rice in the stuffing. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent eggplants hollowed out and generously stuffed with a seasoned blend of minced lamb and beef, onions, and fresh herbs. This keto-adapted version eliminates rice from the traditional filling, focusing on the tender meat and vegetable flavors, stewed to perfection.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, minced lamb and/or beef, onion, fresh herbs (dill, mint, cilantro), salt, black pepper, minimal tomato paste, lamb fat or olive oil, broth.
How to make it keto
Confirm no rice in the stuffing. Request no sugary sauces. Eggplant itself has moderate carbs, so consider portion size for strict keto.
