SIBO-Friendly Ingredients
500 g ground beef (or a mix of beef and lamb)
1 grated zucchini (seedless, well-drained)
1 grated carrot
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Lettuce leaves (for wrapping instead of bread)
Optional: a bit of grated tomato (if tolerated)
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the grated zucchini and carrot, a drizzle of olive oil, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and salt. Combine well.
Shape small, elongated portions of the mixture, like mini kebabs.
Cook them in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil, browning them on all sides.
Serve the fatays wrapped in lettuce leaves, like little tacos, with a bit of grated tomato if you tolerate it, and enjoy this flavorful dish.
Tips for Enjoying
