Salade de Taktouka (Poivrons et Tomates, Faible en Glucides)
Taktouka (Keto Cooked Bell Pepper and Tomato Salad)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no bread or carb-heavy accompaniments. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Moroccan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant cooked salad featuring roasted bell peppers and ripe tomatoes, simmered with garlic, olive oil, and spices until tender. Like Zaalouk, it's typically served with bread. This keto version is served as a standalone side dish, without any carb accompaniment.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers (red, green), tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread or carb-heavy accompaniments. Confirm no added sugar in the preparation.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
Taktouka بدون سكر لو سمحت. ومن فضلك، لا تقدم الخبز معه.
No sugar in the Taktouka, please. No bread for dipping either.
Watch out for
Served with bread for dipping; bell peppers and tomatoes have natural sugars which add to carb count, especially in larger portions.
