Tihoni
Slow-Roasted Goat/Lamb Shoulder
Yes, with a tweak: omit injera. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ethiopian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A traditional festive dish featuring a whole goat or lamb shoulder, seasoned with a robust dry rub of spices and then slow-roasted to achieve a tender interior and crispy exterior. This preparation differs from quick 'qolo' or 'tibs' by using a larger cut and a prolonged cooking process, often in a traditional oven.
Key ingredients
Goat or lamb shoulder, berbere, garlic, ginger, rosemary, salt, black pepper, oil/kibe for basting.
How to make it keto
Omit injera. Ensure no high-carb glazes or sauces are applied. Serve with plain collard greens or cabbage.
Watch out for
Injera, potential sugar in spice rub or glaze, starchy side dishes.
