How to make it keto
Strictly request 'sin viandas' (without root vegetables like yuca, yautía, batata, ñame, platano verde, auyama) and 'sin maíz' (without corn). Focus solely on the meats and broth.
Watch out for
The biggest risk is the wide variety of root vegetables (viandas) and plantains typically found in sancocho. Calabaza (squash) is also common and adds carbs. Some cooks may use a touch of sugar or cornstarch to thicken.
