Turşu Qovurma (Keto Modified)
Sour Lamb Stew (No Rice, Minimal Fruit)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice as a side dish. About 11g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and tangy lamb stew, typically slow-cooked with onions and a sour element, often sour plums (alicha) or plum paste. This keto version focuses on the tender lamb and savory sauce, explicitly omitting rice as a side and minimizing the amount of sour fruit and chestnuts (if typically included).
Key ingredients
Lamb meat, onions, olive oil, minimal sour plum/alicha (for flavor), salt, black pepper, turmeric, saffron (optional).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice as a side dish. Ask for minimal sour plums/alicha and no chestnuts. Confirm no added sugars in the plum paste or sauce.
Watch out for
Traditionally served with rice (must be omitted). Sour plums/alicha contain natural sugars, and could be high if a lot is used. Chestnuts are carby. Hidden sugars in pre-made plum pastes.
