Nunu Choma
Grilled Antelope/Gazelle Meat
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Kenyan dishes.
What it is
Lean cuts of nunu (antelope or gazelle) meat are traditionally marinated with simple spices like salt and pepper, sometimes with garlic and ginger, then grilled over open charcoal flames. This results in a smoky, tender, and naturally keto-friendly meat dish.
Key ingredients
Nunu meat, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ginger powder, cooking oil (for light brushing during grilling), lemon or lime juice (for marinade).
Optional tweaks
Confirm that no sugary marinades are used and that the meat is grilled plain or with only keto-friendly spices and oil. Avoid any accompanying sauces with sugar.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades, serving with high-carb side dishes like ugali, potatoes, or rice.
