What it is
A deeply traditional dish from Northern Brazil, Maniçoba is a rich, dark stew made from slow-cooked, detoxified manioc leaves (maniva) with various cuts of pork and sometimes beef. Here, it is served without the traditional high-carb accompaniments like rice and farofa.
Key ingredients
Maniva (manioc leaves, pre-cooked), various fatty pork cuts (ribs, bacon, pig's ear), beef (optional), onion, garlic, bay leaf, olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, fresh herbs.
How to make it keto
Request no rice or farofa. Confirm with the kitchen that no high-carb thickeners or additional sugars are used in the stew preparation. Focus on the rich meats and maniva.
Watch out for
The maniva itself contains some digestible carbs, ensure portion control if sensitive. Hidden sugars in preparation, and high-carb default sides (rice, farofa) are major risks.
