Muhammara (Keto Modified)
Red Pepper & Walnut Dip (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'no breadcrumbs'. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and smoky dip made from fire-roasted red peppers, ground walnuts, olive oil, and Middle Eastern spices. This version is modified to explicitly exclude the traditional breadcrumbs, making it keto-friendly when served with appropriate dippers.
Key ingredients
Roasted red peppers, walnuts, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'no breadcrumbs'. Confirm minimal or no pomegranate molasses, or ask for it on the side to control the amount (it contains significant sugar).
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
للمحمرة، الرجاء عدم وضع بقسماط. هل يمكن تقديم دبس الرمان جانباً، أو التأكد من أنه قليل السكر أو بدون سكر؟
For Muhammara, please no breadcrumbs. Can I have pomegranate molasses on the side, or confirm minimal/no sugar in it?
Watch out for
Pomegranate molasses (high sugar), hidden sugar in some commercial pepper pastes, potential for added sugar to balance flavors after removing breadcrumbs.
