What it is
Traditionally, 'Kharouf Mashwi' can refer to a whole lamb often served with rice and nuts. This keto-modified version focuses on a generous portion of succulent, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, seasoned with traditional spices, served with non-starchy vegetables instead of the carb-heavy stuffing and rice.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder, olive oil, garlic, traditional spices (e.g., salt, black pepper, cardamom, bay leaf, rosemary), lemon juice. Keto-friendly side vegetables such as grilled zucchini, bell peppers, or steamed green beans.
How to make it keto
