Asado de Chancho Adobado
Roasted Marinated Pork (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no mote, no potatoes, no rice. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bolivian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent pieces of pork marinated in a rich blend of spices, garlic, cumin, oregano, and sometimes chicha (fermented corn beer, though minimal carb impact after cooking), then slow-roasted until tender and flavorful. Served without traditional starchy sides like mote or potatoes for a keto experience.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/loin, garlic, cumin, oregano, ají colorado, vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, side of sautéed green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Request no mote, no potatoes, no rice. Ask for steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables instead. Confirm no sugary glazes in the marinade.
Watch out for
Sugars in marinades, high-carb vegetables in side dishes if not specified, potential for thickeners in any accompanying sauce.
