Keto Piti Stew (Qoyun əti, soğan, göyərti)
Keto Lamb and Onion Stew with Herbs (Piti Style)
Yes, with a tweak: request the Piti to be made without chickpeas ('noxudsuz') and without potatoes ('kartofsuz'). About 9g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
A rich, slow-cooked lamb stew, traditionally prepared in a clay pot, featuring tender lamb pieces, caramelized onions, and fragrant herbs. This keto version specifically omits the traditional chickpeas and potatoes for a low-carb, high-fat profile.
Key ingredients
Lamb meat (often with bone and fat), lamb tail fat, onions, saffron, salt, pepper, water/broth, fresh herbs (e.g., mint, cilantro).
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request the Piti to be made without chickpeas ('noxudsuz') and without potatoes ('kartofsuz'). The lamb fat is essential for the high-fat content.
Watch out for
Chickpeas and potatoes (must omit), hidden sugars in pre-made broth (unlikely for traditional Piti).
