Narlı Qovurma (Kartofsuz, Az Nar)
Lamb Stew with Pomegranate and Onions (No Potatoes, Minimal Pomegranate)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'kartofsuz' (without potatoes). About 11g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich lamb dish sautéed with onions and seasoned. Traditionally finished with pomegranate molasses and/or seeds. For keto, potatoes, if included, must be omitted. Pomegranate (molasses or seeds) should be used very sparingly due to its sugar content.
Key ingredients
Lamb meat (cubed), onions, butter/oil, salt, black pepper, a very small amount of pomegranate molasses (sugar-free if possible) or a few pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'kartofsuz' (without potatoes). Ask for minimal or no pomegranate molasses/seeds. Confirm no added sugar to the sauce.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a common traditional addition. Pomegranate molasses is very high in sugar; pomegranate seeds also contribute carbs. Ensure only a very minimal garnish of seeds or omit entirely.
