What it is
Savory, golden-fried fritters made with shredded, rehydrated dried beef (carne seca) mixed into a low-carb dough base, typically prepared with almond flour and cheeses for binding. A popular 'boteco' (bar food) staple.
Key ingredients
Shredded dried beef (carne seca), cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, almond flour, egg, onion, garlic, parsley, black pepper, olive oil or other keto-friendly oil (for frying).
How to make it keto
Ensure the dough is made exclusively with low-carb ingredients like almond flour and cheese, avoiding wheat or cassava flour. Confirm frying oil is keto-friendly (e.g., olive oil, coconut oil, lard) and not high-carb breading is used.
Watch out for
Potential fillers or sugars in commercially processed dried beef, use of non-keto flours (wheat, cassava) for binding, cross-contamination if fried with high-carb items, or high-carb dipping sauces.
