Fried Rabbit
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Egyptian dishes.
What it is
Tender rabbit pieces, often pre-boiled for tenderness, then pan-fried or deep-fried until golden and crispy. Typically served simply, relying on the rabbit's natural flavor enhanced by frying in oil or clarified butter.
Key ingredients
Rabbit, cooking oil (e.g., sunflower, corn), salt, pepper, bay leaves, cardamom (for boiling).
Optional tweaks
Request no side carbs like rice or bread. Ensure it's not breaded with flour.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
من فضلك، بدون أرز أو خبز جانبي. وهل هو ليس مغطى بالدقيق؟
Please, no rice or bread on the side. And confirm it's not breaded with flour.
Watch out for
Hidden flour in seasoning/breading (unlikely for plain fried), high-carb side dishes (rice, potatoes).
