Mchuzi wa Mbuni (Keto Modified)
Ostrich Stew with Keto Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request the omission of potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Lean ostrich meat slow-cooked in a rich, flavorful stew base of tomatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger. Modified to include bell peppers and green beans instead of traditional high-carb root vegetables.
Key ingredients
Ostrich meat, cooking oil, red onions, ripe tomatoes, garlic, ginger, bell peppers (assorted), green beans, cilantro, salt, spices (e.g., curry powder, black pepper).
