Carne de Cerdo Frita con Cebolla Encurtida (Keto)
Fried Pork Chunks with Pickled Onions (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request "sin yuca, sin plátanos" (without yuca, without plantains). About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
Succulent pieces of pork, deep-fried until tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, then topped with tangy, vibrant pickled red onions. This combination provides a delightful contrast of rich pork with acidic, crunchy onions.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/loin, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, cooking oil (for frying), red onions, white vinegar, water, pinch of salt (for pickling).
How to make it keto
Request "sin yuca, sin plátanos" (without yuca, without plantains). Ensure the pork is not breaded. Confirm pickled onions are made without sugar or minimal sugar only (vinegar, water, salt base).
Watch out for
Bread crumbs/flour for frying, sugary marinades. Pickled onions can sometimes contain sugar (confirm with restaurant).
