What it is
A delicious white fish fillet lightly coated with a gluten-free, low-carb breading made from nut flours and pan-fried until golden. Served alongside a creamy, low-carb puree of kabocha squash, prepared with butter and cream.
Key ingredients
Filé de peixe branco (ex: tilápia, pescada), farinha de amêndoas/castanha de caju, ovos, temperos (sal, pimenta, alho em pó), óleo para fritar (ex: abacate ou coco), abóbora cabotiá, manteiga, creme de leite.
If you order it anyway
Confirm the breading is strictly nut-based (almond, cashew, coconut flour) and not wheat flour. Ensure the puree is made with low-carb kabocha squash and not sweet potato or regular potato, and prepared with butter/cream without added sugar.
Watch out for
Use of traditional wheat-based breading, fillers in the breading mix, sugar in the puree or seasonings, use of high-carb oils for frying.
