Costillas Guisadas sin Víveres
Dominican Braised Ribs without Root Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request *sin víveres* (without root vegetables like potatoes, yuca, taro, plantains). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Pork ribs, tomato paste/sauce, onions, bell peppers, garlic, oregano, cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *sin víveres* (without root vegetables like potatoes, yuca, taro, plantains). Also ensure no sugar is added to the sauce and no high-carb sides are served.
Watch out for
Root vegetables (potatoes, yuca, squash) often included in the stew; sugary tomato sauce/ketchup; flour thickeners in sauce; high-carb side dishes served by default.
