Robust and flavorful Dominican sausage, often pork-based, fried until well-browned and crispy. A naturally low-carb protein, best enjoyed keto by skipping the traditional starchy sides and pairing with a fresh green salad.
Key ingredients
Dominican longaniza sausage (pork), olive oil or lard for frying, lime wedges, side green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) with oil & vinegar dressing.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no yuca, no tostones, no plantains, no rice. Opt for a simple green salad with oil and vinegar. Confirm the sausage itself doesn't contain excessive fillers or sugar (though traditional longaniza usually doesn't).
Watch out for
Some commercial sausages may contain high-carb fillers or sugar. Always served with starchy sides which must be omitted. Sugary salad dressings.
