How to make it keto
Request it served strictly without bread, rice, couscous, or any starchy vegetable sides. Inquire about any sugary rubs or glazes (though uncommon for authentic mechoui).
Watch out for
Minimal inherent carb risks beyond potential sugary rubs (unlikely) and high-carb accompaniments that must be omitted.
