Fricasé de Cerdo (Keto-Modified)
Keto Pork Stew (Pork Fricasé)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or chuño. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and savory Bolivian pork stew, traditionally made with pork ribs or belly, ají amarillo, garlic, cumin, and onion. This keto version omits the traditional potato or chuño (freeze-dried potato), focusing on the tender, fatty pork in its flavorful broth.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder or belly, ají amarillo paste, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, broth (pork or beef), salt, black pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or chuño. Confirm no added sugar in the ají paste or stew base. Ask for extra low-carb vegetables if available (e.g., broccoli, zucchini) instead of traditional sides.
Watch out for
Cornstarch or flour used as a thickener in the stew; hidden sugars in pre-made ají pastes or sauces; traditional potatoes/chuño may be served unless explicitly removed.
