Kuzu Şiş Kebap
Lamb Shish Kebab with Grilled Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, no bread, and ensure any accompanying sauce is free of added sugar. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender cubes of marinated lamb, skewered and grilled to perfection over charcoal. Traditionally served with rice and bread, this keto-modified version focuses on the rich lamb, accompanied by a generous portion of grilled low-carb vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms, alongside a simple fresh salad.
Key ingredients
Lamb cubes, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, olive oil, tomato paste (minimal), spices (oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes), salt, black pepper, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no rice, no bread, and ensure any accompanying sauce is free of added sugar. Ask for a substantial side of grilled vegetables or a plain Çoban Salata (Shepherd's Salad) with olive oil and lemon dressing.
Watch out for
Marinades can occasionally contain small amounts of sugar or flour as a tenderizer. The most significant risk is the default serving of high-carb sides like rice pilaf or lavash bread, which must be explicitly omitted. Minor carbs from tomato paste and onions in the marinade.
