Chivo Guisado (sin arroz o plátanos)
Dominican Braised Goat Stew (without rice or plantains)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, beans, or plantains. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender pieces of goat meat slowly braised in a rich, aromatic sauce, often with a distinctive wild oregano flavor and a touch of heat. The stew itself is flavorful and keto-friendly, but must be served without its traditional carbohydrate accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, bell peppers, onions, garlic, tomato paste/sauce, cilantro, Dominican wild oregano (orégano de la sierra), sour orange juice, hot pepper (optional), olive oil.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, beans, or plantains. Confirm no added sugar in the braising liquid or sofrito base. Goat meat is naturally leaner than pork, so fat content can vary.
Watch out for
Similar to Pollo Guisado, the tomato paste/sauce and vegetables contribute natural carbs. Some restaurants might add sugar to the sauce to balance acidity or enhance flavor.
