Kokoretsi
Spit-Roasted Lamb Offal and Intestines
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A robust traditional dish, particularly popular during Easter. It consists of seasoned lamb or goat offal (such as liver, heart, and kidneys) wrapped tightly in layers of intestines and slow-roasted on a horizontal spit. It is rich, savory, and naturally keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Lamb or goat offal (liver, heart, kidneys), intestines, oregano, salt, black pepper, olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Naturally keto. Simply ensure no bread is served alongside it, which is often done for dipping in the juices.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Το Κοκορέτσι χωρίς ψωμί, παρακαλώ.
Could I have the Kokoretsi without any bread on the side, please?
Watch out for
Any bread served; potential cross-contamination with carb-heavy items in a busy kitchen.
