Tavuk Sote / Et Sote
Chicken / Meat Sauté with Vegetables (No Rice/Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starches are used to thicken the sauce. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty sauté featuring tender pieces of chicken or beef/lamb cooked with vibrant vegetables such as onions, green peppers, and tomatoes in a rich, savory sauce, usually with plenty of olive oil.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast/thigh or beef/lamb cubes, onion, green bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, spices (oregano, black pepper, chili flakes).
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starches are used to thicken the sauce. Request no rice, bulgur, or bread. Ask for extra olive oil and a side of simple greens or plain full-fat yogurt.
Watch out for
Natural carbs from onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Potential for added sugar in tomato paste or sauce, and starch/flour as a thickener (less common but possible).
