Tajine Lham bil Fenouil (Keto-Modifié)
Lamb Tagine with Fennel (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A less common but highly flavorful tagine, showcasing tender lamb pieces braised to perfection with fresh fennel bulbs, sweet onions, and fresh garlic. The dish is infused with a fragrant spice mix including ginger, turmeric, cumin, and often a subtle touch of preserved lemon rind. As the fennel cooks down, it releases a delicate, almost anise-like sweetness that beautifully complements the richness of the lamb.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, fresh fennel bulbs, extra virgin olive oil, onion, fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, salt, black pepper, water or broth, preserved lemon rind (optional, pulp removed).
How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other root vegetables. Confirm no sugar, honey, or prunes (often paired with lamb) are added to the tagine. Request no flour or high-carb binders.
Watch out for
Natural sugars in fennel and onion. Potential hidden sugars in commercially prepared spice blends or sauces.
