What it is
Dominican longaniza is a flavorful, garlicky pork sausage, often pan-fried or deep-fried until browned and juicy. It's a staple in Dominican cuisine. For a keto approach, it's served with fresh avocado and a crisp green salad, bypassing traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Dominican pork longaniza sausage, cooking oil (for frying). Served with avocado and a green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber).
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugary marinades on the sausage. Request no plantains, fries, or other starchy accompaniments. Opt for a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing for the salad.
