Ikhvis Ghmertuli (Keto Modified)
Duck Stew with Walnuts, Herbs & Spices (No Fruit)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no fruit (pomegranate, tkemali plums, dried fruit) is added. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and aromatic duck stew, traditionally slow-cooked with a robust walnut paste, garlic, and a blend of Georgian spices. The keto modification omits the fruit components like pomegranate or plums, focusing on the savory, nutty flavors.
Key ingredients
Duck meat (often bone-in), walnuts, garlic, onions, cilantro, khmeli suneli, fenugreek, red pepper, salt, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
