Keto Badımcan Dolması
Riceless Stuffed Eggplant (or Bell Pepper)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm 'düyüsüz' (riceless) stuffing. About 12g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Eggplant halves or bell peppers generously stuffed with a savory and aromatic mixture of ground lamb or beef, sautéed onions, and a vibrant blend of fresh herbs, then baked or stewed in a light tomato-based sauce. The crucial modification for keto is ensuring the traditional rice in the stuffing is entirely omitted.
Key ingredients
Eggplant (or bell peppers), ground lamb (or beef), onions, fresh herbs (cilantro, dill, mint), garlic, canned tomatoes (for sauce), cooking oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
