What it is
A comforting Dominican home-style dish featuring tender cabbage stewed in a rich sofrito with savory chunks of crispy pork belly (tocino). The cabbage absorbs the flavorful broth and pork fat, creating a satisfying and naturally low-carb meal.
Key ingredients
Cabbage, pork belly (tocino), onions, bell peppers, garlic, cilantro, tomato paste (minimal), oregano, bitter orange or lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Naturally keto-friendly. Ensure no sugary sauces or additional starchy vegetables are added.
Watch out for
Small amounts of tomato paste in the sofrito base, and carbs from onions and bell peppers. Hidden sugars in pre-marinated pork belly (less common in Dominican cuisine but possible).
