Keto Kelle Paça

Keto Kelle Paça is a rich and hearty Turkish soup made from lamb trotters, infused with aromatic spices and herbs. This low-carb version retains the traditional flavors while being perfect for those following a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

• Lamb trotters - 500 grams
• Water - 1.5 liters
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Bay leaves - 2
• Black peppercorns - 5
• Salt - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a large pot, add the lamb trotters and cover them with 1.5 liters of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
2. After 10 minutes, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot. Cover and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the trotters are tender and the meat is easily pulled away from the bone.
3. Once cooked, remove the trotters from the pot and let them cool slightly. Strain the broth into a clean pot, discarding the solids, and return the broth to the stove.
4. Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the strained broth. If desired, stir in the chili flakes for an extra kick. Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the trotters, chop it into small pieces, and return it to the pot with the broth. Stir well and heat through for a few minutes.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
