Pato Assado com Farofa de Castanhas
Roasted Duck with Nut Farofa
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugary glazes or rubs on the duck. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender, succulent roasted duck, seasoned with herbs and spices, typically roasted to perfection until crispy-skinned. Served with a keto-friendly 'farofa' made from a blend of toasted nuts (such as cashews, Brazil nuts, or almonds) and butter, offering a rich, crumbly accompaniment without the traditional high-carb cassava flour.
Key ingredients
Whole duck, herbs (e.g., thyme, rosemary), garlic, salt, pepper, butter, mixed nuts (e.g., cashew, Brazil nut, almond), bacon (optional, for farofa).
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary glazes or rubs on the duck. Confirm the farofa is made entirely from nuts and butter, without any cassava flour, breadcrumbs, or other starches.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades or glazes, hidden starches or flours in the farofa, non-keto nuts (e.g., peanuts if not specified as low-carb).
