Quzu Sabzi Qovurma
Stewed Lamb with Fresh Herbs (Keto, No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and aromatic stew featuring succulent lamb slow-cooked with a medley of fresh herbs such as spinach, cilantro, dill, and green onions. The herbs provide a unique deep green color and complex flavor. Traditionally served with pilaf, but for keto, it's served on its own.
Key ingredients
Lamb, spinach, cilantro, dill, green onions, onions, cooking oil, salt, pepper, sometimes a touch of lemon juice or sour plum paste (for tartness).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice. Confirm no flour is used as a thickener. Be mindful of sour plum paste, ask if it contains added sugar or use sparingly.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in plum paste (if used), flour thickeners (rare but possible), large amount of onions.
