What it is
A traditional communal platter, modified to be keto-friendly. This includes a selection of various keto-compliant Eritrean meat and vegetable dishes, designed for sharing. Components typically include different types of tibs (sautéed meats) and vegetable sides like Hamli (collard greens or spinach). Crucially, it is served without injera, with individual components prepared to minimize carb content.
Key ingredients
A selection of keto-compliant Eritrean dishes. Examples: Assorted Tibs (e.g., beef, lamb, chicken sautéed with Niter Kibbeh, onions, garlic, ginger, various spices like turmeric or berbere, ensuring no sugar). Keto-friendly vegetable sides (e.g., Hamli/Gomen - sautéed collard greens or spinach with onions, garlic, spices).
If you order it anyway
Crucially, confirm all chosen components are keto-friendly and served without injera. Specify no added sugars in any component. Request extra Niter Kibbeh or cooking fat to ensure adequate fat intake. Verify that only low-carb vegetables are included if 'Atkilt Alicha' (mixed vegetables) is part of the platter.
Watch out for
Onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes (in some sauces/stews) contribute carbs. Hidden sugars are a significant risk in restaurant sauces and marinades. Some traditionally included vegetables may be higher carb, so specific requests are important.
