How to make it keto
Ensure no bread (noon) is served alongside. Request grilled low-carb vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions) instead of potatoes if offered. Confirm the sujuk itself contains no sugar or carb-heavy fillers.
Say this to the waiter (Persian)
سوجوک رو بدون نان سرو کنید لطفاً. اگر سیبزمینی سرو میشود، میشود به جای آن فلفل دلمه و پیاز کبابی داشته باشم؟ آیا خود سوجوک شکر یا مواد پرکننده کربوهیدراتی ندارد؟
For the Sujuk, no bread please. Can I have grilled bell peppers and onions instead of potatoes? Does the Sujuk have sugar or carb fillers?
Watch out for
Some commercial sujuk can contain hidden fillers or sugar. Added vegetables like bell peppers and onions will contribute carbs.
