Tagine de Sardines au Chermoula (Sans Pommes de Terre)
Sardine Tagine with Chermoula (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'sans pommes de terre' (without potatoes). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Moroccan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh sardines, often butterflied and stuffed with or layered over a vibrant chermoula mixture (a paste of fresh herbs, garlic, spices, and olive oil), then slow-simmered in a tagine with sliced tomatoes and bell peppers. This version is explicitly prepared without potatoes.
Key ingredients
Fresh sardines, tomatoes, bell peppers, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, explicitly request 'sans pommes de terre' (without potatoes). Omit any accompanying bread for dipping.
