What it is
A savory Palestinian stew featuring tender lamb pieces slow-cooked with a blend of warming spices, tomatoes, and a controlled, low-carb portion of pumpkin. The focus is on the rich lamb and savory broth, with pumpkin adding a subtle sweetness.
Key ingredients
Lamb cubes, pumpkin (limited quantity), tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, allspice, bay leaf.
If you order it anyway
Specify a very small amount of pumpkin to be used. Confirm no potatoes, rice, or other high-carb fillers. Ensure no sugar is added to the tomato base.
Watch out for
High amounts of pumpkin would make this not keto. Hidden sugars in tomato paste or sauces are a risk. Ensure no potatoes are added.
