Keto Tarti Makhokhali (Kartopilis Gareshe)
Keto Lamb and Tarragon Stew (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: it is essential to omit all potatoes, which can be a traditional component. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A savory and fragrant lamb stew that highlights the distinctive flavor of fresh tarragon. Tender pieces of lamb are braised slowly with onions, garlic, and generous amounts of tarragon, often with dry white wine or a hint of vinegar. While some regional variations of Makhokhali might include potatoes, this keto version strictly omits them, making it a perfectly low-carb, protein-rich dish.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, fresh tarragon, large onions, fresh garlic, dry white wine (optional), fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, sunflower oil.
How to make it keto
