How to make it keto
The traditional dish is served with rice and a cassava-based farofa. Modifications include omitting the rice and substituting a nut-based farofa (such as from cashews or Brazil nuts) for the carb-heavy cassava flour version. Ensure no added sugar in the sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the sauce. Ensure the farofa is made purely from nuts and not mixed with any high-carb starches. Watch for high-carb fillers in the sauce.
