Keto Toyuq Ləvəngisi
Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Walnut-Onion Paste (Keto Style)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm that NO DRIED FRUITS (prunes, raisins) are used in the stuffing. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Levengi is a signature Azerbaijani dish, typically a whole chicken (or fish) roasted after being stuffed with a savory paste. The traditional paste consists of walnuts, fried onions, and often dried fruits like prunes or raisins. For the keto version, the dried fruits are omitted, focusing on the rich walnut-onion mixture seasoned with spices, creating a deeply flavorful and fatty dish.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken, walnuts, onion, cooking oil, salt, pepper, sumac, optional pomegranate molasses (use sparingly, check for sugar).
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that NO DRIED FRUITS (prunes, raisins) are used in the stuffing. If pomegranate molasses is used, ask if it's unsweetened and use very sparingly.
Watch out for
Dried fruits in stuffing, sugary pomegranate molasses.
