Tajine de Kefta aux Oeufs (version cétogène)
Moroccan Meatball Tagine with Poached Eggs (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no breadcrumbs or rice are used in the kefta mixture. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Flavorful ground beef or lamb meatballs (kefta) seasoned with Moroccan spices, simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce, and topped with eggs poached directly in the sauce. This keto version ensures no breadcrumbs in the kefta and limits the tomato base to control carbohydrate content.
Key ingredients
Ground beef/lamb, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, paprika, cayenne, olive oil, crushed tomatoes, eggs, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm no breadcrumbs or rice are used in the kefta mixture. Request a modest amount of tomato sauce and verify no sugar is added to it.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
ممكن تتأكدوا الكفتة مافيهاش خبز أو أرز؟ صلصة الطماطم تكون قليلة ومن غير سكر لو سمحت.
Please confirm the kefta has no breadcrumbs or rice. A modest amount of tomato sauce, please, and no added sugar.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs in meatballs (a common binder), excessive use of tomato (restaurant portions tend to be generous), added sugar in the sauce.
