How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no* potatoes, yuca, yautía, plantains, or pumpkin in the stew or on the side. Confirm no flour thickeners in the sauce and no added sugar. Request a side of sautéed cabbage or steamed green beans.
Watch out for
Traditional recipes often include potatoes, yuca, or pumpkin in the stew. Tomato paste can contribute carbs. Some chefs may use a pinch of sugar for flavor balancing. Flour or cornstarch could be used as thickeners. Restaurant portions can have higher amounts of onions/peppers which add up.
