Slow-Cooked Meat in Qvevri Style
Yes, keto as served. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Qvevri Khortsi refers to meat (typically beef or lamb) slow-cooked in a traditional Georgian clay vessel (Qvevri) or a similar low-and-slow method. The extended cooking time allows the meat to become incredibly tender and absorb the deep flavors of onions, garlic, and spices, braised in its own juices.
Key ingredients
Beef or lamb stew meat, onions, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, salt, water or bone broth, dry red wine (optional, cooked off).
Optional tweaks
Confirm that no root vegetables (such as potatoes or carrots) are added to the stew. Also, ensure no flour or starch is used for thickening the sauce.
Watch out for
Minimal carbohydrates from onions, garlic, and trace amounts from red wine after cooking.
