How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy vegetables are included in the stew. Request no added sugar in the tomato sauce or during cooking. Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables instead of rice or farofa.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batatas, cenouras ou vegetais com amido. Sem açúcar adicionado no molho. Pode vir com vegetais verdes cozidos a vapor em vez de arroz ou farofa?
No potatoes, carrots, or starchy vegetables, please. No added sugar in the sauce. Can I have steamed green vegetables instead of rice or farofa?
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato paste or diced tomatoes, starchy vegetables (potatoes, carrots, peas), flour or cornstarch used as a thickener in the sauce. Some restaurants might add a touch of sugar to balance acidity.
