Crucially, confirm that no rice or breadcrumbs are used in the stuffing. The filling should primarily consist of meat, herbs, and low-carb vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
للفلفل المحشي، لو سمحت تأكدوا الحشوة خالية من الرز أو البقسماط. فقط لحم وأعشاب وخضار قليلة الكربوهيدرات.
For the Felfel Mahshi, please confirm the stuffing has no rice or breadcrumbs. It should be meat, herbs, and low-carb vegetables only.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato paste/sauce, or if the kitchen mistakenly adds rice/breadcrumbs to the stuffing. Ensure no flour is used for thickening.
