Shawarma Lahm (بدون خبز)
Lamb Shawarma Meat (No Bread, No Sauces)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly no bread (khubz), no rice, no hummus, and no traditional garlic sauce (often starch-thickened) or tahini sauce (unless confirmed keto-friendly). About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Jordanian dishes.
What it is
Thinly sliced, marinated lamb or beef, slow-cooked to perfection on a vertical rotisserie, resulting in tender, highly flavorful meat with delicious crispy edges. Served as pure meat, completely omitting bread, rice, and traditional sauces for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
Lamb or beef, various Middle Eastern spices (e.g., cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, garlic powder, onion powder), vinegar, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Strictly no bread (khubz), no rice, no hummus, and no traditional garlic sauce (often starch-thickened) or tahini sauce (unless confirmed keto-friendly). Request plain sliced meat, possibly with a side of mixed pickles (cucumber/turnip) or a simple green salad.
Watch out for
Bread, rice, sugary marinades (uncommon for traditional Shawarma but possible), high-carb sauces, large quantities of tomatoes/onions in sides. Very easy to accidentally consume high carbs.
