How to make it keto
Confirm no flour or cornstarch used to thicken the sauce; ensure no sugar or carb-heavy ingredients (like pomegranate molasses) are added. Request extra olive oil for higher fat content.
Watch out for
Hidden flour or sugar in the sauce; some recipes might use a tiny amount of bread (should be omitted). Pomegranate molasses is high in sugar and should be avoided.
