Keto Badımjan Dolması (Rice-Free)
Keto Eggplant Dolma with Meat and Herbs
Yes, with a tweak: insist on 'rice-free' (düyüsüz) filling. About 12g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Whole or halved eggplants hollowed out and stuffed with a rich, aromatic filling of ground lamb or beef, onions, and herbs, cooked slowly in a flavorful broth. Rice is entirely removed from the traditional filling for the keto version.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, ground lamb/beef, onion, fresh herbs (dill, mint, cilantro), tomato paste (minimal), salt, black pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Insist on 'rice-free' (düyüsüz) filling. Be aware that eggplant itself contains moderate carbs, and ask to minimize other high-carb vegetables like tomatoes or bell peppers if they are also typically stuffed.
Watch out for
Eggplant's own carb content, potential for added rice, high-carb vegetables (like bell peppers/tomatoes) if they are also stuffed, hidden sugars in tomato paste.
