Hmiss (Keto-Style)
Spicy Roasted Pepper and Tomato Dip (with Keto Dippers)
Yes, with a tweak: request no bread. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Libyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and spicy dip or side dish made from fire-roasted bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and hot chili peppers, all finely chopped and cooked down with olive oil. It's naturally keto but traditionally served with bread, so it must be modified with keto dippers or as a side.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers (red/green), tomatoes, hot chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin.
How to make it keto
Request no bread. Confirm no added sugar. Serve with celery sticks, cucumber slices, or pork rinds for dipping.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
حميص، بدون خبز لو سمحت. تأكد من عدم إضافة سكر. يقدم مع عيدان الكرفس أو شرائح الخيار أو قشور الخنزير للغمس.
Hmiss, no bread please. Confirm no added sugar. Serve with celery sticks, cucumber, or pork rinds for dipping.
