Cordero Guisado (Estilo Dominicano)
Dominican Style Lamb Stew (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no root vegetables (potatoes, yuca, carrots, auyama/pumpkin) are added. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of lamb slow-cooked in a rich, savory Creole-style sauce (sofrito base) with bell peppers, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs like cilantro and oregano. The stew is naturally thickened, not with starches.
Key ingredients
Lamb shoulder or leg, olive oil, unsweetened tomato paste, red and green bell peppers, onion, garlic, fresh cilantro, dried oregano, low-sodium chicken broth, green olives, capers, fresh lime juice, sea salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no root vegetables (potatoes, yuca, carrots, auyama/pumpkin) are added. Confirm no sugar in tomato paste or other seasonings.
Watch out for
Starchy root vegetables commonly added to guisados, hidden sugars in tomato paste/sauce, or flour/cornstarch used as a thickener.
