Longaniza Frita con Cebolla Asada (Sin Acompañantes)
Dominican Fried Sausage with Grilled Onions (No Starchy Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, no plantains (tostones or maduros), no yuca. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Dominican-style pork sausage, pan-fried until crispy, served with tender, caramelized grilled onions. Traditionally, it comes with starchy sides like fried plantains or cassava, but ordering it plain or with a side salad keeps it keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage (Longaniza), vegetable oil, red onion, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro, lime juice.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no plantains (tostones or maduros), no yuca. Confirm the sausage does not contain excessive fillers or sugar. Focus on the sausage and grilled vegetables.
Watch out for
Sausage fillers (e.g., breadcrumbs, cornstarch) can add carbs, though authentic Dominican longaniza is usually pure pork. Hidden sugar in marinade or grilled onions. Cross-contamination from cooking surfaces used for starchy foods.
