Morcilla Asada con Encebollado (Keto)
Grilled Blood Sausage with Sautéed Onions (Keto)
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Authentic Dominican blood sausage (morcilla) grilled or pan-fried until lightly crispy, then generously topped with tender, savory sautéed onions and bell peppers. A classic 'picadera' (appetizer) item, naturally low in carbs and rich in flavor.
Key ingredients
Dominican blood sausage (pork blood, rice, herbs/spices), onions, bell peppers, olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar (for encebollado).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinade for the onions. Confirm no bread or starchy sides are served.
Watch out for
Some morcilla brands inherently contain a small amount of rice (this is traditional and considered within keto limits for the dish), sweetened onions, cross-contamination with fried starches.
