Nar Qovurma (Keto Lamb/Beef with Pomegranate)
Braised Lamb/Beef with Pomegranate (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request minimal or no pomegranate seeds/juice/molasses. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Lamb or beef, onion, bell pepper (optional), pomegranate seeds/juice/molasses (minimal for keto), salt, pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
