Fasolia bi Lahme
Green Bean and Meat Stew
Yes, with a tweak: ensure 'no rice' is served alongside. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Lebanese food, so watch the portion.

Key ingredients
Green beans, lamb/beef chunks, tomato paste, garlic, fresh cilantro, olive oil, spices (e.g., allspice, coriander), water or broth.
How to make it keto
Ensure 'no rice' is served alongside. Confirm no added sugar in the tomato sauce. Be mindful of the portion size of green beans if strictly carb sensitive, as their carb count can accumulate.
