What it is
A savory-sweet lamb stew, typically featuring tender lamb chunks slow-cooked with aromatic spices, onions, and a very small, controlled portion of dried apricots or prunes for a hint of sweetness and depth. The keto modification strictly limits fruit.
Key ingredients
Lamb, onions, aromatic spices, minimal dried apricots or prunes
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request a very minimal amount of dried fruit to be added, or none at all, relying on natural spices for flavor. Ensure no rice or bread is served.
If you order it anyway, say this (Arabic)
أريد لحمة بالفواكه المجففة بكمية قليلة جداً من الفاكهة أو بدونها. ومن فضلكم لا تقدموا أرز أو خبز معها.
For the Lahme bi Fruita Mujaffafa, please use minimal or no dried fruit. No rice or bread on the side, please.
Watch out for
Dried fruits are very high in sugar; even small amounts contribute significantly. Restaurants may use more dried fruit than ideal for keto or add extra sweeteners. Onions also contribute carbs.
