Keto Mofongo (Puré de Coliflor con Chicharrón)
Keto Mofongo with Chicharrón (Cauliflower Mash Base)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the base is entirely cauliflower and not plantain. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-adapted version of the classic Mofongo, where roasted or boiled cauliflower is mashed with crispy chicharrón (fried pork belly), garlic, and a touch of olive oil, seasoned to taste. This dish mimics the texture and savory profile of traditional mofongo without the plantains.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, chicharrón (fried pork belly), garlic, olive oil, chicken broth (optional), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm the base is entirely cauliflower and not plantain. Ensure no sugary glaze on the chicharrón or in any accompanying sauces. Request it without any high-carb sides typically served with mofongo.
Watch out for
The most significant risk is accidental inclusion of plantain. Confirm strict cauliflower-only. Some restaurants might add starchy thickeners to the broth or serve with a side of rice or beans.
