Toyuq Ləvəngisi (Şəkərsiz)
Roasted Chicken with Savory Walnut Stuffing (Keto Levengi)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially request 'no fruit paste' (meyvə pastası yoxdur) or 'sugar-free' (şəkərsiz) for the stuffing. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Azerbaijani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A whole roasted chicken traditionally stuffed with 'levengi,' a rich paste made from ground walnuts, onions, and fruit pastes (like plum or pomegranate). For keto, the fruit pastes are omitted or minimally used, focusing on a savory, spiced walnut-onion filling.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken, walnuts, onion, butter, salt, pepper, olive oil, herbs (optional).
How to make it keto
