Tripa Frita
Fried Tripe (without Starchy Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the tripe is not heavily breaded with flour. About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Brazilian dishes.
What it is
A less common but authentic Brazilian 'petisco' in some regions, featuring pieces of tripe (beef stomach) that are boiled until tender, then fried until crispy. Naturally keto if no heavy breading.
Key ingredients
Beef tripe, frying oil, garlic, salt, pepper, sometimes a light dusting of flour for crispiness (can be omitted or substituted).
How to make it keto
Confirm the tripe is not heavily breaded with flour. Request no accompanying bread, farofa, or starchy sides. A squeeze of lime is a common and keto-friendly addition.
Watch out for
Potential flour coating for frying; cross-contamination from shared fryers; often served with bread or lemon wedges.
