Galeto Assado com Farofa de Ovos (sem farinha)
Roasted Young Chicken with Egg Crumble (Keto-style)
Yes, with a tweak: request no traditional farofa (made with cassava flour or corn flour), rice, polenta, or fries. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A whole or half young chicken, slow-roasted until golden and tender. Accompanied by a keto-friendly 'farofa' made primarily with scrambled eggs and bacon, omitting the traditional cassava flour.
Key ingredients
Young chicken, garlic, herbs (rosemary, thyme), olive oil, salt, pepper. For 'farofa': eggs, bacon, butter, green onion.
How to make it keto
Request no traditional farofa (made with cassava flour or corn flour), rice, polenta, or fries. Specifically ask for a side of scrambled eggs with bacon bits (similar to a 'farofa de ovos' but explicitly without flour).
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem farofa tradicional, arroz, polenta ou batata frita, por favor. Posso pedir ovos mexidos com bacon, sem farinha, como acompanhamento?
No traditional farofa, rice, polenta, or fries, please. Can I have a side of scrambled eggs with bacon bits, without flour?
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in chicken marinades, and the automatic serving of traditional farofa or other carby sides. Ensure the egg crumble is explicitly stated as *without* flour.
