Keto Papas Rellenas de Coliflor
Cauliflower Mashed "Potato" Balls Stuffed with Picadillo
Yes, with a tweak: confirm cauliflower mash is used instead of potato. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cuban food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly version of the classic Cuban snack. Savory picadillo (ground beef hash) is encased in a ball of seasoned cauliflower mash, then breaded with almond flour and lightly fried to a golden crisp. Served with a side of sugar-free criolla sauce for dipping.
Key ingredients
Ground beef picadillo (seasoned with garlic, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes), cauliflower mash, almond flour, egg, lard or olive oil for frying, garlic, onion, bell peppers, tomato paste (sugar-free), cumin, oregano, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm cauliflower mash is used instead of potato. Ensure breading is almond flour or pork rind dust, not wheat flour or cornstarch. Verify picadillo sauce and criolla dipping sauce are made without added sugar. Request fried in lard or olive oil.
Watch out for
Traditional potato mash, wheat flour breading, sugar in picadillo or criolla sauce, seed oils for frying.
