What it is
A delicious low-carb rendition of the ubiquitous Brazilian side dish, 'farofa'. Finely riced cauliflower is sautéed until tender-crisp with crispy bacon bits, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs in the rendered bacon fat, delivering a savory, crumbly texture reminiscent of the original.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower (riced), bacon (chopped), onion (finely diced), garlic (minced), butter or bacon fat, fresh parsley (chopped), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, verify that riced cauliflower is used, not manioc (cassava) flour. Ensure no added sugars or high-carb ingredients are included.
Watch out for
Risk of traditional manioc flour being used if not clearly specified as 'low-carb' or 'cauliflower farofa'. Hidden sugars in bacon or seasoning mixes.
