Grilled Lamb/Beef/Chicken Skewers
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Moroccan dishes.
What it is
Marinated cubes of lamb, beef, or chicken skewered and grilled to perfection. Often seasoned with cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and sometimes a hint of onion/garlic. A popular street food and restaurant staple.
Key ingredients
Lamb/Beef/Chicken, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, minimal onion/garlic (for flavor).
Optional tweaks
Confirm no sugary marinades or glazes. Ensure no hidden breading if any ground meat is used (unlikely for traditional whole-meat brochettes). Serve without bread or carb-heavy sides.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades/glazes, served with bread/fries/rice. Very low risk if made simply.
