Rabo Encendido con Acompañantes Keto
Spicy Oxtail Stew with Keto Sides (Avocado)
Yes, with a tweak: request *without* rice, yuca, or other starchy root vegetables. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Oxtail, bell peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, habanero/scotch bonnet pepper (optional for spice), cilantro, oregano, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, avocado.
