What it is
Flavorful spiced ground beef meatballs (kefta) simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce, traditionally cooked in a tagine. Modified to ensure no high-carb binders in the meatballs and served with keto-friendly vegetables instead of traditional accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Ground beef, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, olive oil, eggs (as binder), zucchini, bell peppers.
If you order it anyway
Ensure meatballs are binder-free (no breadcrumbs). Request omission of starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes, chickpeas, peas) and confirm no added sugar in the tomato sauce. Served without bread.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs/fillers in meatballs, added sugar in tomato sauce, starchy vegetables like potatoes/chickpeas/peas, served with bread.
