Dajaj bil Farak (Keto Modified)
Roasted Chicken with Spiced Cauliflower & Nut Crumble
Yes, with a tweak: the traditional bread/mafroukeh crumble is replaced with a seasoned cauliflower 'rice' and walnut mixture. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly reinterpretation of Dajaj bil Farak. Tender chicken pieces are baked with a savory 'crumble' made from spiced cauliflower 'rice' sautéed with onions and walnuts, seasoned with sumac and traditional spices. The crumble provides a textural contrast and absorbs the rich chicken juices, replacing the carb-heavy mafroukeh.
Key ingredients
Whole chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on), cauliflower, onions, walnuts, olive oil, sumac, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, salt.
How to make it keto
The traditional bread/mafroukeh crumble is replaced with a seasoned cauliflower 'rice' and walnut mixture. Ensure no added sugars or starches are used in the crumble or seasoning.
Watch out for
Excessive onions in the crumble, hidden sugars in spice blends, or cross-contamination with traditional carb-heavy components.
