Sancocho (Keto Meat and Broth)
Dominican Seven-Meat Stew (Keto, No Root Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no root vegetables (yuca, plantain, ñame, malanga, potato, carrots). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and hearty stew, traditionally featuring multiple types of meat (beef, pork, chicken, goat, etc.) simmered in a savory broth. This keto version focuses solely on the flavorful broth and tender meats, explicitly omitting all high-carb root vegetables like yuca, plantain, ñame, malanga, and potatoes.
Key ingredients
Assorted meats (beef, pork, chicken, goat, sometimes sausage), water or broth, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro, Dominican seasoning blend, tomato paste (minimal).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no root vegetables (yuca, plantain, ñame, malanga, potato, carrots). Confirm no corn or peas. Ask for just the meat and broth portion.
Watch out for
Hidden starches from long cooking with root vegetables (though minimal if carefully served), potential small amounts of sugar in commercially prepared tomato paste or seasoning blends. Some restaurants might thicken broth with starch.
