Ground Lamb Kebab Skewers
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
Seasoned ground lamb (or a mix of lamb and beef) molded onto skewers and expertly grilled over open flames. This succulent kebab is traditionally served with grilled vegetables and fresh herbs, offering a high-protein, high-fat option.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb (often 80/20), finely minced onions, salt, black pepper, sumac. Served with grilled tomatoes and peppers.
Optional tweaks
Crucially request without lavash (flatbread) or rice, which are common accompaniments. Ensure the marinade (if any) is sugar-free.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Zəhmət olmasa, Lyulya Kebab lavaşsız, düyüsüz və kartofsuz. Əvəzinə əlavə qızardılmış tərəvəz və ya sadə yaşıl salat (yağ-sirkə ilə) ala bilərəm?
Please, Lyulya Kebab without lavash, rice, or potatoes. Can I have extra grilled vegetables or a simple green salad with oil and vinegar instead?
Watch out for
Commonly served with high-carb sides like lavash or rice. Hidden sugars in some commercial kebab spice mixes or marinades are possible, though less traditional for Lyulya.
