Adana/Urfa Kebap (Ekmeksiz ve Pilavsız)
Adana/Urfa Kebab Plate (No Rice/Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no bread (lavash/ekmek) and no rice (pilav). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Hand-minced, spiced lamb and beef mixture, grilled on a skewer, served with grilled tomatoes, peppers, and a simple salad, without traditional lavash bread or rice. Portions include ample meat and cooking fats.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, red pepper paste, chili flakes, cumin, salt, grilled tomatoes, green peppers, onion, parsley, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread (lavash/ekmek) and no rice (pilav). Ask for extra grilled vegetables or shepherd's salad instead.
Watch out for
Red pepper paste (can contain sugar), bulgur wheat in some kebab mixes (less common for authentic Adana/Urfa, but possible), hidden sugars in salad dressings.
