How to make it keto
Request no rice, no beans, no farofa. Confirm no sugar is added to the onions for caramelization.

Sugary marinades (less common for this dish but possible), hidden sugar in onion caramelization, starchy thickeners in sauce (rare for this simple dish), high-carb vegetables if substituted incorrectly.
