How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no dried apricots and no onions on the skewer. Absolutely no brown sugar or apricot jam in the marinade. Ask for it to be marinated and grilled simply with spices, vinegar, and oil. Substitute high-carb sides with a plain green salad or steamed vegetables.
Watch out for
Dried apricots (very high in sugar), brown sugar/apricot jam in marinade, onions (moderate carbs), high-carb side dishes.
