What it is
Grilled ground lamb (or a mix of beef and lamb) seasoned with red pepper paste and traditional spices, shaped around skewers. This keto-modified version is served without the customary rice or lavash bread.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, red bell pepper paste, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, sumac, lamb fat.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice (pirinçsiz) and no bread (ekmeksiz). Ask for a side of green salad or grilled tomatoes/peppers instead, dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in some pre-made pepper pastes or tomato sauces. Larger than desired portions of grilled tomatoes or peppers can add carbs.
