Costelinha de Porco ao Molho Barbecue Keto (com Couve Refogada)
Pork Ribs with Keto BBQ Sauce (with Sautéed Collard Greens)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the barbecue sauce is sugar-free or made with keto-friendly sweeteners. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pork ribs, slow-cooked or grilled until fall-off-the-bone, generously coated in a homemade or keto-friendly barbecue sauce (sweetened with non-nutritive sweeteners instead of sugar). Served with a traditional and flavorful side of garlicky sautéed collard greens (couve refogada).
Key ingredients
Pork ribs, keto BBQ sauce (sugar-free tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, erythritol/stevia, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, liquid smoke), olive oil, fresh collard greens, garlic, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the barbecue sauce is sugar-free or made with keto-friendly sweeteners. Request extra sauce on the side and a generous portion of collard greens, confirming no rice or farofa.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Na Costelinha de Porco, por favor, confirme que o molho barbecue é sem açúcar ou keto. Quero molho extra à parte, bastante couve refogada, e sem arroz ou farofa.
