Keto Sancocho (Protein and Vegetable Stew)
Keto-Modified Dominican Seven-Meat Stew
Yes, with a tweak: request *no yuca, no yautia, no plantains (green or ripe), no potatoes, and no corn*. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the hearty Dominican Sancocho, focusing on the rich array of meats (beef, chicken, pork) and savory broth, while omitting all traditional high-carb root vegetables and plantains. It includes low-carb vegetables like bell peppers and a minimal amount of calabaza for texture.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., short ribs, stew meat), chicken (bone-in), pork (ribs, chops), bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, cubanelle peppers, chicken broth, small amount of calabaza (pumpkin), olive oil, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no yuca, no yautia, no plantains (green or ripe), no potatoes, and no corn*. Ask for extra meat and more low-carb vegetables like bell peppers instead. Confirm no sugar is added to the broth.
Watch out for
Sancocho is fundamentally defined by numerous high-carb root vegetables. Explicitly state the complete omission of these. Calabaza (pumpkin) contains carbs, so a minimal amount is acceptable for keto, but ensure it's not a large portion. Confirm no sugar in the broth.
