Sabzi Qovurma (Düyüsüz)
Braised Lamb/Beef with Herbs (Rice-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially request 'düyüsüz' (without rice). About 11g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich stew of tender lamb or beef braised with a generous amount of various fresh herbs (often cilantro, dill, parsley, spinach, green onions) and sometimes dried sour plums. Served without rice.
Key ingredients
Lamb/beef chunks, mixed fresh herbs (cilantro, dill, parsley, spinach, green onions), onions, cooking oil/butter, salt, black pepper, dried sour plums (optional, minimal).
How to make it keto
Crucially request 'düyüsüz' (without rice). Confirm no flour as a thickener and minimal/no dried sour plums if used, due to their sugar content.
Say this to the waiter (Azerbaijani)
Sabzi Qovurma düyüsüz olsun. Zəhmət olmasa təsdiq edin ki, un yoxdur və quru alça azdır və ya qatılmayıb.
I'd like the Sabzi Qovurma without rice. Please confirm no flour and minimal or no dried sour plums.
Watch out for
Traditionally served with pilaf (rice). Dried sour plums (Albuqara) can add carbs. Restaurants often use a lot of oil for sautéing herbs.
