Cabra Guisada
Dominican Stewed Goat with Herbs (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: politely request no rice, no beans, and no plantains. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender goat meat, slow-cooked in a fragrant and robust stew featuring onions, bell peppers, garlic, fresh herbs, and a savory broth. This dish is naturally low in carbs if served without traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, olive oil, onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro, oregano, bay leaf, beef broth, salt, black pepper, small amount of tomato paste (optional).
How to make it keto
Politely request no rice, no beans, and no plantains. Verify that no sugar or flour thickeners are added to the stew. A simple green salad or sliced avocado pairs well.
Watch out for
Similar to other guisados: potential hidden sugars in the stew base (especially if using pre-made sauces), flour or cornstarch as a thickener, or the addition of starchy root vegetables.
