Dajaj bil Sumac wal Basal (Keto Musakhan Style)
Sumac Chicken with Caramelized Onions (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no taboon bread or any other carb-heavy base. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Roasted chicken pieces heavily seasoned with tart sumac and other spices, served on a generous bed of deeply caramelized onions and toasted pine nuts. This keto version strictly omits the traditional taboon bread base of Musakhan.
Key ingredients
Chicken pieces (e.g., thighs, drumsticks), red onions, sumac, olive oil, pine nuts, salt, black pepper, optional allspice.
How to make it keto
Absolutely no taboon bread or any other carb-heavy base. Request extra green salad or plain labneh instead of bread.
Watch out for
Caramelized onions are high in natural sugars, contributing significantly to carb count. Pine nuts add a small amount of carbs. Ensure no sugary marinades are used. Restaurant portions often include large amounts of onions.
