Yes, with a tweak: request *no* potatoes, yuca, or carrots in the stew. About 10g 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 savory, aromatic sauce with a base of sofrito (onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste, and a hint of bitter orange or lime. Served with steamed chayote instead of traditional starches.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, sofrito (onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro), tomato paste, bitter orange/lime juice, olive oil, chicken/beef broth, oregano, bay leaf, salt, pepper. Steamed or sautéed chayote.
How to make it keto
Request *no* potatoes, yuca, or carrots in the stew. Ask for it to be served with steamed or sautéed chayote (a low-carb squash) or other low-carb vegetables, *not* rice or beans. Confirm no sugar is added to the sauce, and no flour/cornstarch for thickening.
Watch out for
Root vegetables or carrots are commonly included in the stew. Tomato paste contributes some carbs. Starchy thickeners or sugar in the sauce are possible. Standard high-carb sides are a major risk.
