How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary marinades or glazes are used. Decline all starchy sides like rice, plantains (tostones or maduros), or papas. Request 'ensalada verde' (green salad) with oil and vinegar.
Watch out for
Sugary glazes or marinades (less common in traditional Dominican preparation, but check). Starchy sides are the main risk. Sugary salad dressings.
