Sautéed Pork Sausage with Onions
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Slices of robust pork sausage (often Calabresa, a smoked and cured variety) pan-fried or sautéed until browned, then combined with thinly sliced onions that caramelize naturally. A savory and satisfying dish commonly served as a bar snack.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage (e.g., linguiça Calabresa), onions, olive oil or cooking fat, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no added sugar is used to caramelize the onions. Confirm the sausage does not contain high-carb fillers. Served without bread, farofa, or other starchy sides.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
A Linguiça Acebolada, por favor. Que a cebola seja feita sem açúcar. E que venha sem pão, farofa ou outros acompanhamentos com amido.
Linguiça Acebolada, please. Ensure no added sugar for the onions. Please serve without bread, farofa, or other starchy sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars or high-carb fillers in some commercially prepared sausages. Onions contribute natural sugars, and excessive caramelization with added sugar can increase carb count.
