Jute Leaf and Okra Medley with Assorted Meats
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Nigerian dishes.
What it is
A vibrant green medley of slippery jute leaves (ewedu) and finely chopped okra, cooked down with assorted beef and goat meats, crayfish, and local spices. It's naturally viscous and savory, making a satisfying keto meal on its own, traditionally served without any carb sides.
Key ingredients
Jute leaves (ewedu), fresh okra, assorted beef (shaki, bokoto, tripe), goat meat, crayfish powder, iru (locust beans), onions, habanero peppers, stock cubes, palm oil, salt.
Optional tweaks
Naturally low-carb; ensure no added thickeners. Best enjoyed without any swallows (fufu, amala, eba) or carb sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in stock cubes. Excessive use of iru (locust beans) could slightly increase carbs, but usually minor.
