Tsebhi Alicha Beggie be'Hamli (Keto Modified)
Mild Lamb & Collard Greens Stew (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no injera or rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Eritrean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting, mildly spiced stew featuring tender lamb or goat meat simmered with abundant fresh collard greens (hamli) in a turmeric and ginger-infused sauce. This modified version omits traditional high-carb sides and focuses on the hearty stew.
Key ingredients
Lamb/goat meat, collard greens (hamli), onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, ghee/oil, salt, mild green peppers (optional).
How to make it keto
Request no injera or rice. Ensure no potatoes or carrots are added to the stew. Ask for extra hamli to boost the low-carb vegetable content.
Watch out for
Large quantities of onions, potential for hidden starches/flour as thickeners, served with injera or rice.
