What it is
Quails stewed in a rich and savory Cuban sauce, often featuring a base of sofrito (onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes) with white wine or dry sherry. A less common but authentic and flavorful dish.
Key ingredients
Quails, bell peppers, yellow onion, garlic, ripe tomatoes, dry white wine or dry sherry, olive oil, chicken broth, bay leaf, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the sauce and no flour or starch is used as a thickener. Request without any high-carb sides like rice or potatoes.
Watch out for
Carbs from vegetables in the sauce (tomatoes, peppers, onions) can add up. Some wines/sherries have residual sugar. Starch-based thickeners are a concern.
