Longaniza Frita/Asada
Fried/Grilled Dominican Sausage
Yes, keto as served. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Dominican dishes.
What it is
A popular Dominican sausage, typically made with pork, garlic, oregano, and sour orange. It's often pan-fried or grilled until browned and slightly crispy. A savory, high-fat, high-protein option.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage (pork, garlic, oregano, sour orange/lime juice, salt, pepper), frying oil (if fried).
Optional tweaks
Ensure the sausage itself does not contain any added fillers or high-carb ingredients (authentic Dominican longaniza generally does not). Request it served with keto-friendly sides like green salad and avocado, omitting rice, plantains, or bread.
Watch out for
Sometimes served with high-carb side dishes. Less common but some commercial versions might have fillers or sugars, so confirming authenticity with a local restaurant is wise.
