Grilled Calamari (Squid)
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Jordanian dishes.
What it is
Fresh calamari (squid) rings or whole baby squid, marinated lightly and grilled until tender and slightly charred. Served simply with lemon wedges and a drizzle of olive oil.
Key ingredients
Calamari, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used. If 'Kalamari Maqli' (fried calamari) is the only option, explicitly request it with NO breading or flour coating.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
الكالاماري المشوي، هل تتبيلته بدون سكر؟ وإذا بس فيه كالاماري مقلي، بدي إياه بدون تغليف أو طحين.
For the Kalamari Mashwi, please confirm no sugary marinades. If Kalamari Maqli is the only option, I need it with no breading or flour coating.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, or breading/flour coating if fried (should be explicitly avoided).
