Angu de Couve-Flor com Carne Moída
Cauliflower Polenta with Ground Beef (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure cauliflower puree is used as the base instead of cornmeal. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the traditional Brazilian 'Angu' (cornmeal porridge). Puréed cauliflower replaces cornmeal, creating a creamy, polenta-like base, served with a rich, savory ground beef sauce, typically seasoned with onions, garlic, and a touch of fresh tomato.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, ground beef, heavy cream or cream cheese, butter, olive oil, onions, garlic, diced fresh tomatoes (small amount), fresh parsley, seasonings (salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Ensure cauliflower puree is used as the base instead of cornmeal. Request no-sugar-added tomato paste or fresh tomatoes for the ground beef sauce.
Watch out for
Small amounts of onion/garlic/tomato, hidden sugars in tomato sauce if not specified as fresh/no sugar.
