Chraime Fish Stew
Spicy North African Fish Stew
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the sauce has no added sugar (request 'no sugar added' if possible). About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Israeli food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust and spicy fish stew, typically featuring firm white fish fillets (like cod, snapper, or sea bream) simmered in a rich, vibrant sauce made from crushed tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, chili, and a blend of North African spices like cumin and paprika. In a restaurant, it's often served with bread to soak up the sauce.
Key ingredients
White fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper), olive oil, crushed tomatoes, red bell peppers, garlic, chili peppers, paprika, cumin, fresh cilantro, lemon juice, chicken or fish broth, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
Hidden sugar in canned tomatoes or pre-made sauce. Often served with high-carb sides like bread or rice.
