Chivo Guisado sin Tubérculos, con Ensalada (sin Arroz)

Key ingredients
Goat meat, bell peppers (red, green), onion, garlic, cilantro, culantro (recao), oregano, tomato paste (sugar-free if possible), olive oil, broth, lime/sour orange, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olive oil, vinegar.
How to make it keto
Crucially request 'sin tubérculos' (no root vegetables like potato, yuca, ñame, yautía, plantain, auyama/squash). Confirm no flour or cornstarch used as a thickener. Ask for no rice or beans. Be mindful of tomato paste quantity and ask for unsweetened if available.
Watch out for
Tomato paste (check for added sugar), potential flour/cornstarch thickeners, small amounts of hidden sugar in seasonings/marinades. Higher natural carbs from bell peppers, onions, tomatoes in the stew base.
