What it is
A savory and decorative Brazilian 'couscous' mold, re-imagined without cornmeal. This keto version uses a base of shredded chicken, heart of palm, bell peppers, olives, and hard-boiled eggs, bound with a rich tomato sauce and olive oil, then molded and garnished.
Key ingredients
Frango desfiado (shredded chicken), palmito picado (chopped heart of palm), ovos cozidos (hard-boiled eggs), azeitonas verdes e pretas (green and black olives), pimentões (bell peppers), cebola (onion), alho (garlic), molho de tomate caseiro (homemade tomato sauce), azeite de oliva (olive oil), salsa (parsley).
If you order it anyway
Confirm no cornmeal (flocão de milho). Ensure the tomato sauce is low sugar and no other high-carb fillers are used.
Watch out for
Tomato sauce/paste (check for hidden sugars), onions, bell peppers, and heart of palm all contribute to carb count. Quantity of vegetables can significantly impact net carbs.
