Adana Kebap (Keto-style)
Grilled Spicy Ground Lamb Skewers with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no lavash bread, bulgur pilaf, or rice. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Authentic hand-minced spicy lamb and beef blend, grilled on skewers, rich in flavor. Traditionally served with lavash bread and bulgur pilaf, this keto-modified version focuses on the succulent meat served with a simple side of grilled low-carb vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini) or a plain green salad.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb, ground beef, red pepper paste, sumac, red pepper flakes, salt, olive oil, grilled bell peppers, grilled zucchini.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no lavash bread, bulgur pilaf, or rice. Ask for a side of plain green salad (with oil & vinegar on the side) or grilled low-carb vegetables instead of the usual high-carb accompaniments. Confirm no breadcrumbs in the kebab mixture (though authentic Adana generally doesn't use them).
Watch out for
Hidden breadcrumbs in some less authentic kebab mixtures, large portions of tomato/onion in side salad/grilled veggies, sugary dressing on salads, hidden sugar in some ready-made red pepper paste.
