How to make it keto
Request no bread (lavash), no bulgur or rice. Confirm marinade does not contain added sugar. Opt for a simple side salad of tomato, cucumber, and onion, dressed with olive oil and lemon.
Watch out for
Yogurt in marinade (lactose), hidden sugars in tomato paste/marinade, served with bread/bulgur/rice. Heavy use of onions in side salad.
