What it is
A hearty stew featuring tender okra pods and chunks of savory meat (typically pork or beef), simmered in a rich, flavorful 'criolla' sauce. Modified to be keto-friendly by ensuring no starchy thickeners or sugars are used.
Key ingredients
Okra, pork or beef chunks, olive oil, sofrito (onions, bell peppers, garlic), crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, meat broth, bay leaf, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, ensure no starches (like flour or cornstarch) are used to thicken the stew, and no sugar is added to the tomato base. Serve without rice or other carb-heavy sides. Be mindful of the carb content from okra and tomato in larger portions.
Watch out for
High carb content from okra if eaten in very large portions, hidden sugars in tomato products, starch thickeners, large amounts of onions/bell peppers.
