INGREDIENT NOTES
COCONUT FLOUR:
- We use a little amount of coconut flour in the base to absorb moisture and improve texture while keeping the carbs low.
BEEF:
- Use ground version of beef for making the filling rich with proteins and heart-healthy fats. Utilize minced turkey or lamb instead to make the lean variety of these rolls.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This is the main item that provides the structure to low-carb dough. As we know that coconut flour has a large absorbing capacity, so we can’t swap it with almond flour.
SPICES:
- We are using pepper, paprika, and cumin for the original Middle Eastern flavor, and they don’t increase carbs.
CHEESE:
- We are using the mozzarella and cream cheese to have a soft fat-head(low-carb and high-fat) dough. To have a vegan version, swap the dairy cheese with its milk-free version.
ONION:
- It adds flavor but has slightly high carb content, so use it in small amounts or swap with green onions for a lower carb version
PARSLEY:
- The use of chopped fresh parsley adds fresh color and aroma to balance your dish.
