Moroccan Kefta Tagine with Eggs and Low-Carb Vegetables
Keto Kefta Tagine with Eggs and Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no breadcrumbs or fillers in the kefta. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Spiced ground beef or lamb meatballs (kefta) simmered in a rich, savory tomato sauce, often with eggs cracked directly into the sauce to poach until set. This keto-modified version ensures the kefta contains no breadcrumbs and includes low-carb vegetables like zucchini or eggplant instead of high-carb root vegetables or chickpeas.
Key ingredients
Ground beef/lamb (kefta), tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, olive oil, eggs, zucchini, eggplant, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no breadcrumbs or fillers in the kefta. Request no sugar in the tomato sauce. Explicitly ask for low-carb vegetables (like zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers) and no potatoes, carrots, peas, or chickpeas. Request no bread or couscous.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs in kefta, hidden sugar in tomato sauce, high-carb vegetables (potatoes, carrots, chickpeas), and bread/couscous service.
