Revuelto Gramajo
Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Peas
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sin papas' (without potatoes), as potatoes are the primary carb source in the traditional dish. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Argentinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Traditionally a hearty dish of scrambled eggs mixed with matchstick keto root vegetables, ham, and peas. Modified for keto by removing the traditional starchy component and limiting peas.
Key ingredients
Eggs, diced ham, a very small amount of peas, a small amount of onion, olive oil or butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request 'sin papas' (without potatoes), as potatoes are the primary carb source in the traditional dish. Ask for 'muy pocas arvejas' (very few peas) or 'sin arvejas' (without peas) as peas are also carb-heavy. Confirm the ham does not contain added sugar or fillers. Request it cooked in olive oil or butter.
Say this to the waiter (Spanish)
Revuelto Gramajo, por favor. Crucial: sin papas y sin arvejas. Cocinado en aceite de oliva o mantequilla. ¿El jamón no lleva azúcar?
Revuelto Gramajo, please. Critically, sin papas and sin arvejas. Cooked in olive oil or butter. Please confirm ham has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Potatoes are the main ingredient in the traditional version. Peas are relatively high in carbs. Some hams contain added sugar or starches. Onions add carbs if used in large quantities. Potential hidden sugar in restaurant cooking or ham.
