Quzu Buğlaması (Kartofsuz)
Lamb Buglama (Steamed Lamb with Vegetables, no potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful stew-like dish where tender pieces of lamb are slow-steamed with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and often herbs like dill and cilantro. The meat becomes incredibly tender, cooking in its own juices and added fat.
Key ingredients
Lamb, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, fresh herbs (dill, cilantro), butter/oil, salt, pepper, garlic.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potatoes. Some versions might include chickpeas; ensure these are omitted.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
