Maqaneq Maqliyeh
Pan-Fried Middle Eastern Sausages
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Jordanian dishes.
What it is
Small, intensely spiced lamb or beef sausages (maqaneq), pan-fried until slightly crispy and browned. A flavorful mezze item, naturally low in carbs.
Key ingredients
Lamb/beef sausages (maqaneq), olive oil or cooking fat.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread or traditional carb sides are served. Confirm with the restaurant that no sugar is added to their sausage mixture (uncommon for traditional maqaneq but good to verify).
Watch out for
Possible hidden sugar in sausage mixture (rare, but check), sugary dipping sauces, or carb-heavy complimentary sides. Restaurant chefs may use excessive oil.
