M'derbel Ljouz (Keto-Modifié)
Walnut and Meat Stew (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no high-carb fruits (like prunes or apricots), honey, or sugar are added. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
An uncommon but incredibly rich and flavorful Moroccan stew (M'derbel), typically prepared with lamb or beef, featuring finely ground walnuts as both a thickener and a distinctive flavor agent. The meat is slow-cooked with caramelized onions, fresh garlic, and a complex blend of Moroccan spices, creating a deeply savory, slightly tangy, and very unique texture and taste. This dish is inherently rich and satisfying.
Key ingredients
Lamb or beef chunks, walnuts (finely ground), extra virgin olive oil, onion, fresh garlic, Moroccan spices (cumin, turmeric, ginger, paprika, black pepper), lemon juice, water or beef broth.
How to make it keto
Ensure no high-carb fruits (like prunes or apricots), honey, or sugar are added. Confirm no flour or other high-carb thickeners are used in the stew.
Watch out for
Natural carbs from walnuts and onion. Potential for hidden sugars in spice blends or commercially prepared broths.
