Lamb's Head and Trotters Soup
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
A very traditional and robust Azerbaijani soup made from lamb's head and trotters, slow-cooked for many hours until the meat is incredibly tender and the broth is rich and gelatinous. Seasoned simply with garlic, vinegar, and sometimes lemon. This is a naturally high-fat, high-collagen, and keto-friendly dish.
Key ingredients
Lamb's head, lamb trotters, garlic, vinegar, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no grains (like rice or flour) are added as thickeners. Request extra garlic and vinegar on the side for flavor.

Kəlləpaça, please. No rice or bread on the side. Could I have extra garlic and vinegar?
