What it is
A robust and long-simmered stew from the Amazon region, Maniçoba features finely ground, cooked manioc leaves (maniva) braised with various cuts of pork (ribs, belly, sausage, bacon) until incredibly tender. Modified for keto by omitting rice and ensuring no flour thickeners.
Key ingredients
Cooked manioc leaves (maniva), pork ribs, pork belly, bacon, smoked sausage (linguiça), onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm no rice or farofa is served. Ensure no flour or other starches are used as thickeners in the stew. The maniva itself is low-carb after extensive cooking.
Watch out for
Rice or farofa as a side, flour thickeners in the stew. (Note: Maniva, the manioc leaves, are extensively cooked to remove toxins and become low-carb.)
