How to make it keto
Explicitly request Dobradinha without the traditional white beans, rice, or farofa. Verify no starchy thickeners are used in the stew and ensure no high-carb vegetables like potatoes or carrots are added.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem feijão na dobradinha, por favor. O molho é engrossado com farinha ou amido? O molho de tomate não tem açúcar? Sem arroz ou pão.
Crucially, no beans in the stew. Is the sauce thickened with flour or starch? No added sugar in the tomato base. No rice or bread.
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often include white beans. Hidden sugars in processed sausages or tomato paste/sauce, or starchy thickeners in the broth.
