Piperies Gemistes (Keto Style)
Stuffed Bell Peppers (No Rice, Keto Filling)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially request a filling made without rice. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cypriot food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Bell peppers typically stuffed with a savory filling and baked. Modified to replace the traditional rice with a low-carb, high-protein keto filling.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground beef/pork, onions, garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, mint), diced tomatoes, olive oil, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially request a filling made without rice. Suggest minced meat, herbs, cheese, or finely diced low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
Τις Πιπεριές Γεμιστές να μην έχουν ρύζι στη γέμιση. Προτιμώ κιμά, μυρωδικά, τυρί ή ψιλοκομμένα λαχανικά.
Piperies Gemistes, please ensure the filling has no rice. I'd prefer minced meat, herbs, cheese, or low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Rice in stuffing, high sugar content in tomato sauce, carb-heavy sides.
