Jordanian Dried Lamb with Eggs and Sautéed Vegetables
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Jordanian dishes.
What it is
Traditionally, Jibs is dried and cured lamb meat, preserved for longer shelf life. In a restaurant, it would be rehydrated and then pan-fried or sautéed, often with eggs and a medley of low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, onions (in moderation), and tomatoes. It's a hearty, savory dish, high in fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Dried lamb (Jibs), eggs, olive oil, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, salt, black pepper, a pinch of seven spice.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no starchy vegetables are added; request minimal onion/tomato for carb control. Confirm no added sugars in any spice blend.
Watch out for
Onions and tomatoes can add carbs if portioned heavily; hidden sugars in pre-made spice blends are a minor risk.
