Keto Makloubet Lafit bil Lahmeh (مقلوبة لفت باللحمة والرز الزهرة)
Turnip Makloubeh with Lamb (Cauliflower Rice Base)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly substitute traditional rice with cauliflower 'rice'. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A 'flipped' dish (Makloubeh) re-imagined for keto, featuring layers of spiced lamb and pan-fried turnips, topped with a seasoned cauliflower rice base. The dish is cooked slowly and then inverted to serve, presenting the tender lamb and turnips on top of the 'rice'.
Key ingredients
Lamb stew meat, turnips, cauliflower 'rice', olive oil, onions, garlic, mixed spices (e.g., allspice, cinnamon, turmeric), salt, black pepper, chicken/lamb broth.
How to make it keto
Strictly substitute traditional rice with cauliflower 'rice'. Ensure turnips are not breaded or floured before frying. Request omission of any potatoes or other starchy vegetables sometimes added to Makloubeh.
Watch out for
Original Makloubeh is rice-based. Turnips could be lightly floured before frying in some restaurants. Hidden sugars in spice blends or broths.
