What it is
A vibrant Moroccan cooked salad featuring roasted or cooked bell peppers (often red and green) with minimal tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil, seasoned with traditional spices. This keto-friendly version focuses on the peppers and herbs, with careful control over tomato quantity and no added sugars.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers (red, green), ripe tomatoes (minimal), olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, cilantro, parsley.
If you order it anyway
Request minimal tomatoes and absolutely no added sugar. Ensure it's served without bread. Bell peppers are higher in net carbs than eggplant, so portion control is important.
If you order it anyway, say this (Arabic)
تكتوكة من فضلك. هل هي مطبوخة بدون سكر أو عسل؟ قدموها طبق جانبي، من غير خبز.
Taktouka, please. Is it cooked without sugar or honey? Serve it as a side, without khobz.
Watch out for
Bell peppers and tomatoes are the main carb contributors; ensure portions are moderate. Hidden sugars are a risk in the sauce base. Onions (if added) increase carb count.
