What it is
Halved zucchini boats generously filled with a savory Chilean 'pino' (ground beef, sautéed onion, and spices, often with hard-boiled egg and olives), then baked until the zucchini is tender and the filling is cooked through. A hearty and wholesome meal.
Key ingredients
Zucchini, ground beef, onion, olive oil, hard-boiled egg, black olives, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper. Optional: top with melted cheese.
If you order it anyway
Ensure no rice or breadcrumbs are used as binders or fillers in the pino. Request extra cheese on top for added fat and flavor if desired.
Watch out for
Onion content in pino (moderate), zucchini (moderate carbs, but acceptable in keto portions), potential hidden sugars in seasoning blends.
