What it is
Tender chunks of marinated lamb, grilled on skewers, served with a generous portion of fresh shepherd's salad (finely diced tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers, and parsley with an olive oil and lemon dressing). Any accompanying rice or bread should be explicitly omitted.
Key ingredients
Lamb, olive oil, onion, garlic, red pepper paste (minimal), salt, black pepper, cumin, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, red onion, parsley, lemon juice.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask to omit rice (pilav) and bread (ekmek or lavaş). Confirm the salad dressing is simple olive oil and lemon, without added sugar.
Watch out for
Marinades can sometimes contain sugar (though less common for traditional shish kebab); potential for sugary salad dressing; high amount of onion in the salad adds to carbs.
