Sabzi Qovurma (Plovsuz)
Lamb Stew with Fresh Herbs (No Rice)

What it is
A rich and fragrant stew featuring slow-cooked lamb with a generous blend of fresh green herbs such as spinach, sorrel, cilantro, dill, and parsley. This dish is inherently keto-friendly; the crucial modification is to ensure it is served without the traditional rice pilaf.
Key ingredients
Lamb meat, onion, spinach, sorrel, cilantro, dill, parsley, green onion, cooking oil, salt, pepper, sometimes a touch of plum paste.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no rice*. Confirm no added sugar or high-carb plum paste in the stew. If plum paste is used, ensure it's a minimal amount and ask if a sugar-free alternative can be used or omitted.
