Dominican Keto Stew (Sancocho-Style, No Root Vegetables)
Keto Dominican Hearty Meat Stew with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: *all* traditional root vegetables (yuca, ñame, yautía, batata, papas, plantains) and corn must be completely omitted. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., short ribs, stew meat), pork (e.g., pork shoulder), chicken (e.g., drumsticks), bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, chayote, green beans, cabbage, chicken/beef broth, olive oil, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, *all* traditional root vegetables (yuca, ñame, yautía, batata, papas, plantains) and corn must be completely omitted. Request extra keto-friendly vegetables instead.
Watch out for
The traditional Sancocho is extremely high in carbs due to its reliance on multiple starchy root vegetables and plantains. Without explicit and careful modification, this dish is fundamentally non-keto. Hidden starchy thickeners in the broth are also a risk.
