Keto Mansaf (Cauliflower Rice Base)
Keto Mansaf with Lamb and Jameed Sauce (Cauliflower Rice Base)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly replace traditional rice and shrak bread with cauliflower rice. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A ketogenic adaptation of Jordan's national dish. This version features tender, slow-cooked lamb in a rich, tangy jameed (fermented dried yogurt) sauce, served over a bed of fluffy, seasoned cauliflower rice, and garnished with toasted nuts.
Key ingredients
Lamb (bone-in cuts), jameed (dried fermented yogurt), cauliflower, ghee/clarified butter, turmeric, salt, cardamom, bay leaves, toasted almonds/pine nuts for garnish.
How to make it keto
Strictly replace traditional rice and shrak bread with cauliflower rice. Confirm the jameed sauce contains no added starches or fillers (authentic jameed is naturally low-carb).
Watch out for
Hidden starches in jameed (unlikely in authentic preparations, but confirm). Cross-contamination with traditional rice. Nuts can add carbs if consumed in very large quantities.
