Batknis Chakapuli (Reduced Plum)
Lamb Stew with Herbs and Reduced Sour Plum
Yes, with a tweak: request 'very minimal' tkemali (sour plums) to significantly reduce carbs, or ask for the tkemali sauce on the side to control portion. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A springtime stew with tender lamb, simmered with an abundance of fresh green herbs like tarragon, cilantro, dill, green onions, and traditionally sour tkemali plums, often with white wine. Modified for keto by reducing the plum content.
Key ingredients
Lamb (shoulder/breast), green onions, tarragon, cilantro, dill, garlic, salt, black pepper, tkemali (sour plums), white wine.
How to make it keto
Request 'very minimal' tkemali (sour plums) to significantly reduce carbs, or ask for the tkemali sauce on the side to control portion. Ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener. Wine carbs usually cook off.
Watch out for
Tkemali (sour plums) are the primary carb source; a restaurant-sized portion of plums can be high. Hidden sugars in pre-made tkemali sauce. Green onions and herbs contribute minor carbs.
