Düyüsüz, Minimal Nar Şirəli Balıq Ləvəngisi
Baked Fish with Walnut & Onion Stuffing (Levengi Style, no rice/minimal pomegranate)
Yes, with a tweak: essential to request the stuffing to be rice-free and with minimal to no pomegranate molasses or other sugary pastes. About 12g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Whole fish (often a local river or Caspian fish) baked with a rich, aromatic stuffing of finely ground walnuts, sautéed onions, and herbs. For a keto version, the traditional sour plum or pomegranate paste is either omitted or used very sparingly to control sugar content, and no rice is used in the stuffing.
Key ingredients
Whole fish (e.g., Kütüm, Sazan), walnuts, onions, butter/oil, herbs (dill, cilantro), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Essential to request the stuffing to be rice-free and with minimal to no pomegranate molasses or other sugary pastes.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Balıq Ləvəngisinin içliyi düyüsüz olsun, zəhmət olmasa, nar şirəsi və ya şirin pastalar da çox az, ya da heç olmasın.
I need the Balıq Ləvəngisi stuffing to be rice-free and with minimal or no pomegranate molasses or sugary pastes.
Watch out for
Walnuts have some carbs. Onions contribute carbs. Pomegranate molasses is high sugar; ensure it's omitted or barely used.
