What it is
A classic Azerbaijani dish featuring eggplant, bell pepper, and tomato, each hollowed out and stuffed with a savory, seasoned ground meat filling (traditionally lamb or beef). This version is modified to be rice-free for a keto diet.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, bell pepper, tomato, ground lamb/beef, onion, fresh herbs (mint, dill, cilantro), salt, black pepper, a touch of tomato paste, savory broth.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure the meat filling contains *no rice*. Request extra meat filling to compensate. Be mindful of the carb content from the vegetables themselves, especially bell peppers and tomatoes; ask for smaller tomatoes if possible.
If you order it anyway, say this (Azerbaijani)
Üç Bacı Dolmasının içliyində düyü olmasın, zəhmət olmasa. Əlavə içlik istəyirəm və mümkünsə kiçik pomidorlardan istifadə edilsin.
For the Üç Bacı Dolması, please ensure the meat filling has no rice. Can I have extra meat filling and smaller tomatoes if possible?
Watch out for
Traditional filling always contains rice, significant carbs from the bell pepper and tomato vegetables, potential for hidden sugary sauces, and often served with bread or yogurt dip.
