Chivo Guisado con Aguacate
Stewed Goat with Avocado
Yes, with a tweak: ask for no rice, beans, or starchy root vegetables. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Flavorful goat meat stewed until tender in a robust sauce, often with a hint of spicy Scotch bonnet pepper, bell peppers, onions, garlic, and oregano. Served with fresh avocado slices.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, tomato paste, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, oregano, Scotch bonnet pepper (optional), goat/beef broth, olive oil, avocado.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no rice, beans, or starchy root vegetables. Opt for avocado or a green salad as a side. Verify no added sugars or starches in the stew. Ensure potatoes or yautía, common in chivo guisado, are omitted.
Watch out for
Same risks as other guisados: tomato paste, potential hidden sugars or thickeners. Be aware of the common inclusion of root vegetables like potatoes or yautía, and ensure they are explicitly omitted.
