Keto Sancocho (con Vegetales Bajos en Carbohidratos)
Keto Sancocho (with Low-Carb Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for 'sin yuca, sin yautía, sin papa, sin plátano' (without yuca, yautía, potato, plantain). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A robust and hearty Dominican stew, traditionally made with multiple meats and root vegetables. The keto version omits starchy roots like yuca, yautía, and potato, substituting them with low-carb alternatives like chayote, green beans, radishes, and bell peppers, while retaining the rich meat and broth base.
Key ingredients
Assorted meats (beef, chicken, pork), low-carb vegetables (chayote, green beans, radishes, bell peppers), garlic, onions, cilantro, longaniza (optional), chicken/beef broth, sour orange/lime, annatto oil (for color).
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for 'sin yuca, sin yautía, sin papa, sin plátano' (without yuca, yautía, potato, plantain). Request it to be prepared with low-carb vegetables like chayote or green beans if possible. Confirm no flour thickeners.
Watch out for
The traditional version is extremely high in carbs from root vegetables and plantains. Hidden sugars in tomato paste (if used), and potential use of starch thickeners.
