Keto Chenchén de Coliflor con Chivo Guisado
Cauliflower-Based Chenchén with Goat Stew (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: replace cracked corn with riced cauliflower. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly version of the classic Chenchén, substituting traditional cracked corn with finely riced cauliflower. The 'cauliflower chenchén' is cooked in a rich, creamy coconut milk and pumpkin-free broth, served alongside savory Chivo Guisado (goat stew) for a complete, low-carb meal.
Key ingredients
Riced cauliflower, coconut milk (unsweetened), bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, culantro, goat meat, tomato paste (small amount), olive oil, spices (oregano, cumin), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Replace cracked corn with riced cauliflower. Omit pumpkin from the chenchén base and ensure no added sugars in the coconut milk or stew. The goat stew itself must be prepared without starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in coconut milk or tomato paste; inclusion of traditional corn or starchy vegetables if not explicitly specified; pumpkin (auyama) is often used in chenchén and is higher carb.
