Eggs with Spicy Sausage
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Palestinian dishes.
What it is
A robust breakfast or light meal featuring pan-fried eggs cooked with spiced, often homemade, lamb or beef sausages (naqaneq). Naturally keto and packed with flavor and fat.
Key ingredients
Eggs, naqaneq (spicy ground lamb/beef sausage with spices like paprika, cumin, garlic), olive oil or butter, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread is served alongside (common accompaniment). Confirm sausage contains no high-carb fillers or sugars (unlikely for traditional naqaneq but good to check).
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
بدون خبز لو سمحت. وممكن تأكد لي النقانق ما فيها إضافات أو سكر؟
Please, no bread on the side. Can you confirm the sausage has no fillers or added sugar?
Watch out for
Serving with bread/pita, hidden fillers or sugars in mass-produced sausage.
