What it is
A Sabbath stew slow-cooked overnight, typically featuring beef or chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and a rich medley of low-carb vegetables (like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, celery, spinach) simmered in a savory broth with traditional spices. The traditional high-carb ingredients like potatoes, beans, and wheat berries are omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Beef chuck or chicken pieces, hard-boiled eggs, olive oil, onions, garlic, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, celery, spinach, rich beef or chicken broth, spices (paprika, cumin, turmeric, black pepper), salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm that no potatoes, chickpeas, beans, rice, or wheat/barley are included. Request a generous portion of meat and eggs and ensure the broth is sugar-free.
