How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request no rice, beans, or plantains. Ask for steamed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans) or a green salad. Ensure the sauce is not thickened with flour or cornstarch.
Watch out for
Potential for thickeners (flour, cornstarch) in the sauce. Very small amounts of carbs from garlic and a minimal reduction of wine if used. Ensure no sugary marinades are used.
