How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no sugar is added to the escabeche sauce. Request ample olive oil for increased fat content.
Watch out for
Onions and bell peppers contribute natural carbs. Potential for hidden sugars in commercial vinegars or pre-made spice blends. Large quantities of vegetables in the marinade can add up.
