Keto Clear Spiced Beef Broth
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request a clear broth with no added vegetables (like potatoes, carrots, corn, peas) or legumes. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Eritrean dishes.
What it is
A light yet deeply flavorful beef broth, slowly simmered with traditional Eritrean aromatics like onions, garlic, ginger, and a touch of mild spices. Modified for keto to be a clear broth, ensuring no added high-carb vegetables or starches, providing pure savory comfort.
Key ingredients
Beef bones and/or fatty beef cuts, onions, garlic, ginger, mild Eritrean spices (e.g., turmeric, cardamom, fenugreek, minimal berbere), salt, water.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request a clear broth with no added vegetables (like potatoes, carrots, corn, peas) or legumes. Ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening. Can request extra beef fat or bone marrow for higher keto macros.
Watch out for
Onions (minimal carb contribution in a clear broth, but quantity matters), potential for chefs to add high-carb vegetables if not specifically omitted.
