Mechoui (Keto Portion)
Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Keto Salad
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Moroccan dishes.
What it is
Tender, succulent slow-roasted lamb shoulder, typically seasoned simply with salt and cumin. This dish focuses purely on the rich, fatty meat.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder, salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, olive oil. Side: Green salad.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, request no couscous, potatoes, or bread. Ask for a simple green salad with olive oil and lemon dressing to accompany the lamb instead of traditional high-carb sides.
Watch out for
None from the lamb itself, which is naturally keto. The only risk comes from traditional carby sides if they are not explicitly omitted.
