Keto Koupepia
Grape Leaves Stuffed with Minced Meat and Herbs (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice in the stuffing. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is

Key ingredients
Grape leaves, minced pork/beef, onions, fresh herbs (parsley, mint), diced tomato, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper.
