What it is
A hearty stew featuring tender chunks of lamb slow-cooked with fresh kohlrabi (known as 'lafit' in some regions), garlic, and a hint of fresh lemon juice. The kohlrabi provides a mild, slightly sweet, turnip-like flavor and a tender texture, all simmered in a rich broth with traditional spices.
Key ingredients
Lamb stew meat (e.g., shoulder, leg), kohlrabi, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, coriander, cumin, allspice, salt, black pepper, water or lamb broth.
If you order it anyway
Explicitly request no potatoes or rice. Confirm kohlrabi is the only root vegetable used. Ensure no flour is used as a thickener.
Watch out for
Kohlrabi has some carbs; generous portions could add up. Onions are often added to stews and can contribute carbs. Some restaurants might use a thickening agent.
