What it is
A keto-friendly reimagining of Brazil's comforting 'shepherd's pie'. A savory base of shredded, rehydrated, and richly seasoned carne seca (jerked beef), often cooked with onions, garlic, and bell peppers, is generously topped with a smooth, creamy, and cheesy cauliflower mash (instead of the traditional high-carb manioc mash). The dish is then baked until golden and bubbly, offering a hearty and satisfying meal.
Key ingredients
Carne seca (jerked beef), onions, garlic, bell peppers, small amount of tomatoes, olive oil, cauliflower (for mash), butter, cream, cheese (e.g., mozzarella, Parmesan, or cream cheese variant), salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Explicitly request the 'Keto Escondidinho' version, confirming that the manioc mash (purê de mandioca) is replaced with cauliflower mash. Ensure no added sugar in the beef preparation or the mash. Confirm the cheese used is a low-carb variety.
If you order it anyway, say this (Portuguese)
Gostaria do Escondidinho Keto. Por favor, confirme que é só purê de couve-flor, sem mandioca. A carne e o purê não têm açúcar e o queijo é low-carb?
I'd like the Keto Escondidinho. Please confirm no manioc mash, only cauliflower. Is the beef and mash sugar-free, and is the cheese low-carb?
Watch out for
Small amounts of tomatoes and bell peppers in the beef filling. Cauliflower, while low-carb, can contribute to total carbs in a large serving. Hidden sugars in beef seasoning or any pre-packaged cheese sauces. Always confirm the absence of traditional high-carb thickeners in the beef base.
