Roasted Lamb Neck (Unstuffed)
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Jordanian dishes.
What it is
Slow-roasted lamb neck, seasoned with traditional Middle Eastern spices, resulting in incredibly tender and flavorful meat that falls off the bone. A rich and hearty main course, traditionally unstuffed for keto.
Key ingredients
Lamb neck, olive oil, garlic, onions, spices (allspice, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper), salt.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, ensure the lamb neck is served unstuffed. Traditionally, it might be stuffed with rice, so explicitly request it plain with vegetables or a keto-friendly sauce.
Watch out for
The primary risk is a carb-heavy stuffing (rice, bulgur). Ensure the accompanying sauce (if any) is not thickened with flour or cornstarch and contains no added sugar. Be mindful of roasted root vegetables sometimes served alongside, requesting low-carb alternatives.
