Key ingredients
Pork chops, red bell peppers, onion, cured ham, dry white wine, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper. (May contain a small amount of tomato paste for color and depth).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'sin papas' (without potatoes). Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce, and no sugar is added if tomato paste is included.
Watch out for
Natural carbohydrates from bell peppers and onions. Residual sugars in white wine. Potential for added sugars or flour in restaurant sauces, especially if tomato is prominent.
