Keto Cow Trotters & Mixed Vegetable 'Upside-Down' Dish (Cauliflower Rice Base)
Yes, with a tweak: no actual rice is used; cauliflower rice is the substitute. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Jordanian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-adapted version of the traditional 'upside-down' dish, featuring tender, slow-cooked cow trotters layered with sautéed low-carb vegetables (such as eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower) and seasoned cauliflower rice. The dish is inverted before serving for a visually appealing presentation.
Key ingredients
Cow trotters, cauliflower, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, olive oil, garlic, mixed spices (e.g., seven spice, turmeric), salt, black pepper, parsley for garnish.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no actual rice is used; cauliflower rice is the substitute. Ensure all vegetables are low-carb and portions are controlled. Verify no starchy thickeners or sugars in spices.
Watch out for
Any starchy vegetables accidentally added (e.g., potatoes, carrots); hidden thickeners or sugars in spice blends; large portions of tomato if used in the base sauce.
