What it is
A keto-adapted version of the classic Dominican 'moro de gandules,' replacing rice with cauliflower 'rice.' Cauliflower florets are sautéed with pigeon peas (gandules), bacon or pork belly, and a rich sofrito, offering a flavorful side dish with significantly reduced carbs.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower 'rice', pigeon peas (gandules), bacon or pork belly, olive oil, onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomato paste (minimal), Dominican sofrito spices (oregano, cumin, cilantro), salt.
If you order it anyway
Limit portion size due to carbs from pigeon peas. Ensure tomato paste is sugar-free. Request minimal onion/bell pepper if strict on carb count.
Watch out for
Pigeon peas are legumes and contain carbs (though fiber helps net carb count); hidden sugars in sofrito or tomato paste.
