Pescado al Coco con Vegetales (sin arroz)
Fish in Coconut Sauce with Vegetables (no rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sin arroz' (without rice). About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fish fillets (often Red Snapper or Cod) simmered in a creamy, rich coconut milk sauce with bell peppers, onions, and herbs. Traditionally served with rice, but delicious and keto-friendly with a side of simple steamed or sautéed low-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Fish fillets, coconut milk, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, spices, salt, pepper. Side of steamed green beans or broccoli.
How to make it keto
Request 'sin arroz' (without rice). Ask for a side of steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans. Verify the coconut milk and sauce contain no added sugar.
Watch out for
Sweetened coconut milk, added sugar in the sauce, high amounts of carby vegetables, flour/cornstarch thickeners, often served with high-carb sides that must be explicitly avoided.
