Badımcan və Bibər Dolması (Düyüsüz)
Stuffed Eggplant and Bell Pepper (Rice-Free Minced Meat Filling)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the filling is prepared without any rice. About 12g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Eggplant and bell peppers hollowed out and traditionally stuffed with a mixture of minced meat, rice, and herbs. For a keto version, the rice must be completely omitted from the filling. The meat, herbs, and the vegetables themselves make a delicious and satisfying keto meal.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, bell pepper, minced lamb/beef, onion, tomato paste (unsweetened), fresh herbs (mint, dill, parsley), salt, pepper, butter/oil.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure the filling is prepared without any rice. Confirm tomato paste used is unsweetened. Ask for minimal cooking liquid if it contains added sugar.
Watch out for
Rice in the stuffing (most common carb risk), sugary tomato paste/sauce, potatoes sometimes served alongside.
