What it is
A whole roasted winter squash (zapallo), hollowed out and generously stuffed with a flavorful 'pino' (a savory ground meat filling with onion and spices), then topped with melted cheese and baked until golden and bubbling. A comforting and hearty keto meal.
Key ingredients
Winter squash (zapallo), ground meat, onion, spices, cheese
If you order it anyway
Confirm no potatoes, rice, or other high-carb vegetables in the pino. Ask for extra cheese on top. Ensure the squash itself is roasted with oil/butter and not sugary glazes.
Watch out for
Pino often contains corn (choclo), potatoes, or raisins. The squash itself is moderately high in carbs for keto, so portion control is key. Hidden sugars in spices or sauces for the pino.
