Adana Kebap (Keto-Modified)
Grilled Spicy Minced Lamb Skewers with Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request "lavaşsız, pilavsız" (without lavaş bread, without rice). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Turkish dishes.
What it is
Hand-minced lamb mixed with red bell peppers and spices, grilled on a wide skewer. It's usually served wrapped in lavaş bread or with rice. For keto, it must be ordered as a plate without any bread or rice, accompanied by a side salad.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb (high fat), red bell peppers, red pepper flakes, salt, cumin, garlic (optional), olive oil, side salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber).
How to make it keto
Request "lavaşsız, pilavsız" (without lavaş bread, without rice). Emphasize "sadece kebap ve salata" (just kebab and salad).
Watch out for
Some recipes might include a tiny bit of breadcrumbs for binding (less common in authentic Adana), sugary marinades (unlikely for Adana), accompanying bread/rice.
