Beef Leg and Tripe Stew with Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no potatoes, carrots, or other starchy root vegetables are added. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A profoundly hearty, collagen-rich Brazilian stew made from beef leg (cow's foot) and often beef tripe, slow-cooked until incredibly tender. It's prepared in a deeply savory broth with a medley of low-carb vegetables such as collard greens, bell peppers, and fresh tomatoes. This dish is naturally keto-friendly and incredibly nourishing, especially when high-carb root vegetables are omitted.

Beef leg (mocotó), beef tripe (optional), onions, garlic, bell peppers (green, red), fresh tomatoes, collard greens, cilantro, olive oil, bay leaf, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
