Sancocho Keto (Caldo de Siete Carnes sin Víveres)
Keto Seven-Meat Stew Broth (without Root Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: this requires significant modification: order the Sancocho and explicitly request 'sin víveres' (without root vegetables), meaning no yuca, ñame, yautía, plátano… About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Dominican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich, hearty broth made from a variety of meats (beef, pork, chicken, goat, etc.) simmered with sofrito and spices. This keto version focuses solely on the flavorful broth and tender meats, omitting all traditional starchy root vegetables.
Key ingredients
Mixed meats (beef, pork, chicken, goat, pork sausage), sofrito (onions, garlic, bell peppers, cilantro), oregano, lime, salt, pepper, olive oil, water/broth.
How to make it keto
This requires significant modification: order the Sancocho and explicitly request 'sin víveres' (without root vegetables), meaning no yuca, ñame, yautía, plátano verde, papa (potato), or maíz (corn). Focus on the broth and meat components.
Watch out for
Traditional Sancocho is very high in carbs due to root vegetables and corn. Some restaurants might use a thickening agent. Ensure no pumpkin (auyama) if that's a typical addition, as it's higher in carbs.
