Ground Liver Kebab on Skewers
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Azerbaijani dishes.
What it is
A distinctive variation of lule kebab, made from finely ground lamb or beef liver, often mixed with a generous amount of lamb tail fat and finely chopped onions, seasoned, and skillfully grilled on skewers. This kebab offers a rich, earthy flavor and a tender texture.
Key ingredients
Lamb/beef liver, lamb tail fat, onions, salt, black pepper, sumac.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, request without any lavash bread or other starchy side dishes. Confirm that no breadcrumbs or flour are used as binders in the ground liver mixture, as traditional recipes usually omit these.
Watch out for
The main risks are hidden breadcrumbs or flour used in the kebab mixture (though less common for liver lule) and, more commonly, being served with lavash or other carb-heavy sides. Always specify omissions.
