Liver Shish Kebab Plate (without bread)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread) or 'pilavsız' (without pilaf). About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Turkish dishes.
What it is
Flavorful skewers of marinated lamb or beef liver, grilled until tender and slightly charred. This nutritious dish is often served with a simple garnish of sumac-dusted onions and fresh parsley. For a keto plate, it's essential to omit any accompanying bread or bulgur pilaf.
Key ingredients
Lamb liver (or beef liver), olive oil, onion, parsley, sumac, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread) or 'pilavsız' (without pilaf). Ensure the liver is seasoned simply without any sugary marinades.
Watch out for
Larger quantities of onion served as a side salad, hidden sugar in marinades (unlikely for traditional liver shish).
