Carnivore Diet Survival Guide: Navigating Lebanese Mezze with Confidence

Embracing the carnivore diet doesn’t mean missing out on vibrant Lebanese cuisine—you just need a strategic approach. Lebanese mezze, famous for its array of small plates, may seem plant-heavy at first glance. But beneath the hummus and tabbouleh lies a treasure trove of meat-centric delights perfect for carnivores. With mm food, translating menus and identifying safe options becomes effortless.

Carnivore-Friendly Mezze Staples

Seek these protein-rich stars:

• Grilled Kebabs: Lamb, chicken, or beef skewers (avoid marinades with sugars)
• Shish Barak: Meat-filled dumplings in yogurt sauce (confirm no dough thickeners)
• Kibbeh Nayeh: Raw minced lamb/beef with spices (verify sourcing if concerned)
• Awarma: Preserved lamb confit, often cooked in its own fat
• Grilled Halloumi: Salty cheese (skip if dairy-restricted)

Major Pitfalls to Avoid

Steer clear of:

• Legume-based dips (hummus, foul)
• Grain-focused dishes (tabbouleh, stuffed vine leaves)
• Fried items dredged in flour (falafel, cauliflower fritters)
• Sauces with hidden sugars/honey (pomegranate molasses, tahini sauces)

Pro Tips for Ordering

• Request meats grilled plainly without glazes
• Substitute salads for extra roasted lamb or chicken
• Double-check ingredient lists for additives using mm food's AI scanner
