Balıq Ləvəngisi (Keto Versiyası)
Keto Baked Fish with Walnut and Onion Stuffing
Yes, with a tweak: request minimal or no pomegranate molasses (narşərab) or dried plums in the stuffing, or confirm that any used is unsweetened. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole baked fish (often Kutum or Sturgeon) generously stuffed with a rich and flavorful mixture primarily composed of finely ground walnuts, sautéed onions, and fresh herbs. The keto preparation minimizes or completely omits traditional pomegranate molasses or dried plums to control carbohydrate content.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Kutum, Sturgeon), walnuts, yellow onion, cooking oil/butter, salt, black pepper, fresh herbs (cilantro, dill), minimal souring agent (e.g., lemon juice or a tiny amount of unsweetened pomegranate paste).
How to make it keto
Request minimal or no pomegranate molasses (narşərab) or dried plums in the stuffing, or confirm that any used is unsweetened. Ask for lemon juice as the primary souring agent if possible.
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses (narşərab) and dried plums are common ingredients in Ləvəngi stuffing and can be high in sugar; ensuring their omission or careful management is key.
