How to make it keto
Absolutely critical: ensure NO yuca, ñame, yautía, potatoes, plantains, or corn. Focus only on the meat, broth, and low-carb vegetables. Confirm no sugar is used to 'caramelize' the meat or in the broth base.
Watch out for
Sancocho is *heavily* reliant on various root vegetables and plantains for its texture and flavor profile. Omitting these changes the dish significantly but is necessary for keto. Hidden sugars can be used in the sofrito base.
