Fwaregh (فوارغ) - طبق كرشة الخروف (بدون حشوة الأرز)
Sheep Tripe/Intestines Platter (Unstuffed or Keto-Stuffed)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no rice is used in the stuffing; request unstuffed or explicitly keto-stuffed with meat and herbs only. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Palestinian dishes.
What it is
A traditional offal dish featuring thoroughly cleaned and slow-cooked sheep intestines or tripe, prepared until exceptionally tender. For a keto version, it is served either completely unstuffed or with a savory, spiced ground meat and herb filling (omitting the traditional rice). Often seasoned with lemon and garlic.
Key ingredients
Sheep intestines/tripe, water, lemon, garlic, olive oil, spices (cumin, allspice), salt, black pepper. (If stuffed: ground lamb/beef, fresh parsley, fresh mint, onion, spices).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no rice is used in the stuffing; request unstuffed or explicitly keto-stuffed with meat and herbs only.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
تأكد لو سمحت ما في رز بالحشوة. ممكن تقدمها بدون حشوة، أو محشية لحم وأعشاب بس؟
Please ensure no rice in the stuffing. I'd like it unstuffed, or stuffed with meat and herbs only.
Watch out for
The primary risk is traditional rice stuffing; ensure this is omitted.
