Gudegude (Keto, no Injera)
Rich Spiced Beef Stew (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly no injera. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional, slow-cooked beef stew made with specific, often richer cuts of meat. It features a deeply flavorful, thick red sauce derived from extensive cooking of berbere, onions, garlic, ginger, and niter kibbeh. It's more intensely flavored and often thicker than a standard Siga Wat. Served without injera.
Key ingredients
Beef, niter kibbeh, red onions, garlic, ginger, berbere spice blend, a small amount of tomato paste (optional), salt, water or beef broth.
How to make it keto
Strictly no injera. Confirm no flour or other starches are used to thicken the sauce. Request a side of gomen (collard greens) instead of traditional carb sides.
Watch out for
Onions, berbere spice blend (potential hidden sugars), small amount of tomato paste.
