Keto Lahanodolmades (Kreatopliroi)
Keto Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Meat-Filled)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for the filling to be made without rice. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Greek food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender cabbage leaves wrapped around a savory, well-seasoned ground meat filling, typically simmered in a light broth and often finished with a creamy lemon-egg (avgolemono) sauce.
Key ingredients
Cabbage leaves, ground beef/pork/lamb mix, onion, herbs (dill, parsley), olive oil, egg, lemon juice, chicken broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for the filling to be made without rice. If an avgolemono sauce is used, confirm no flour is added as a thickener and ensure no sugar is in the broth.
Say this to the waiter (Greek)
