What it is
A hearty baked dish served in a clay pot (fakhara). Seasoned minced lamb or beef (Hawashi style, implying specific spices and herbs) is slow-cooked with a medley of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions. The clay pot cooking method locks in moisture and deepens the flavors.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb or beef, bell peppers (various colors), tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, spices (cumin, paprika, black pepper, a hint of cinnamon), salt, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes or rice are added to the clay pot. Request extra olive oil. Minimize high-carb vegetables like carrots.
Watch out for
Restaurant tendency to add potatoes or excess tomatoes/onions. Hidden sugars in tomato paste if used in large quantities. Portion size of bell peppers and onions can increase carb count.
