Caldo de Mocotó (sem Pão)
Beef Hock/Foot Broth (without Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: omit any bread or starchy accompaniments. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A deeply nourishing and collagen-rich Brazilian broth made from slow-cooked beef hocks (cow's feet). This hearty broth is simmered until gelatinous, then seasoned with garlic, onion, tomatoes, and herbs. Traditionally served with bread, it's a perfect keto option when served plain.
Key ingredients
Beef hocks (cow's feet), garlic, onion, minimal tomatoes, minimal bell peppers, bay leaf, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cilantro or parsley.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit any bread or starchy accompaniments. Request minimal use of high-carb vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers if possible.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
