Keto Zurbiyan Laham (with Cauliflower Rice)
Qatari Spiced Lamb with Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: ensure cauliflower rice is used as the base instead of traditional rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Qatari food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-adapted version of the celebratory Zurbiyan. Tender, slow-cooked lamb, marinated in yogurt and a rich blend of aromatic Qatari spices, served over fluffy, spiced cauliflower 'rice' instead of traditional basmati.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, full-fat plain yogurt, Zurbiyan spice blend (cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, saffron, black pepper), onion, garlic, ginger, ghee or olive oil, cauliflower, fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., cilantro).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure cauliflower rice is used as the base instead of traditional rice. Confirm no potatoes or high-carb vegetables are included.
Watch out for
Carbs from onions and the small amount in yogurt. Ensure yogurt is unsweetened.
