Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty, traditional dish where a sheep's stomach (rumen) is meticulously cleaned and then stuffed with a flavorful mixture of finely chopped meat (typically lamb or offal), fat, and seasonings, slow-cooked to tender perfection. It's a rich, intensely savory, and naturally keto meal.
Key ingredients
Sheep stomach, lamb meat (or a mix of lamb/beef/offal), rendered sheep tail fat, minimal onion, salt, black pepper, traditional spices (e.g., cumin).
Optional tweaks
Ensure only a minimal amount of onion is used in the stuffing.
Say this to the waiter (Kazakh)
Қарын Бүркен, ішіне пиязды өте аз салыңызшы.
Karyn Burken, please. Use minimal onion in the stuffing.
Watch out for
Small amount of onion in the stuffing, but usually negligible. Ensure no rice or grains are used as fillers, which is not traditional but worth confirming.
