Costolette d'Agnello con Timballo di Peperoni (Keto)
Lamb Chops with Roasted Pepper and Cheese Bake (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the lamb chops are not breaded or dredged in flour. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Italian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Grilled or pan-seared lamb chops served alongside a savory, vibrant timballo (a baked dish similar to a terrine or gratin) made from roasted bell peppers, eggs, and cheeses, seasoned with herbs. This version specifically omits high-carb binders from the timballo.
Key ingredients
Lamb chops, olive oil, bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), eggs, Parmesan cheese, Pecorino cheese, fresh basil, garlic, salt, black pepper, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Ensure the lamb chops are not breaded or dredged in flour. For the timballo, confirm no breadcrumbs, flour, or other starchy binders are used; only eggs and cheese should act as binders. Serve with the pepper timballo and no other carby sides.
