Panceta Frita com Limão
Fried Pork Belly with Lemon
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Brazilian dishes.
What it is
Crispy, deep-fried strips of pork belly, a popular 'petisco' (bar snack) in Brazil. The pancetta is fried until golden and crunchy, yielding a rich, fatty, and savory bite, often served simply with a squeeze of fresh lime to cut through the richness.
Key ingredients
Pork belly, salt, pepper, vegetable oil (for frying), fresh lime wedges.
Optional tweaks
Request no sugary sauces, glazes, or accompanying high-carb dips. Confirm it is purely fried pork belly without any breading or starch.
Watch out for
Sugary dipping sauces (if offered), cross-contamination with high-carb fried items if sharing a fryer, potential for hidden starches in seasoning rubs.
