Key ingredients
Mini sausages (pork or mixed), large onions, cooking oil/lard (for frying), salt, pepper, sometimes a touch of cachaça or beer (verify no sugar added, can omit).
How to make it keto
Confirm sausages are low-carb (no bread fillers, sugar, or cornstarch). Ensure onions are not heavily sugared for caramelization. Avoid high-carb dipping sauces.
Watch out for
Sausages can contain hidden sugars, fillers (cornstarch, flour, breadcrumbs). Onions themselves contribute carbs, and excessive caramelization with sugar is a risk.
