A rich, flavorful broth made from various meats (beef, chicken, pork) and low-carb vegetables, seasoned with Dominican herbs and spices.

Key ingredients
Beef cuts (short ribs, stew meat), chicken pieces, pork (smoked ham hock), beef broth, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, oregano, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper. (Strictly no root vegetables).
How to make it keto
ABSOLUTELY NO YUCA, YAUTIA, POTATOES, PLANTAINS (green or ripe), OR PUMPKIN. These are core Sancocho ingredients and must be omitted for keto. Confirm no flour thickeners. Ensure the broth isn't sweetened.
Watch out for
The inherent presence of multiple high-carb root vegetables in traditional Sancocho is the primary risk. Chefs may be resistant to omitting so many key ingredients. Tomato paste can add sugar and carbs. Ensure no added sugar.
