Sancocho (Keto Meat and Broth Bowl)
Dominican Mixed Meat Stew (No Root Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely critical to specify "sin víveres" (no root vegetables/starches) – this means no yuca, ñame, yautía, potatoes, or plantains. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A hearty stew featuring multiple types of meat (typically beef, chicken, pork) in a rich, savory broth. For keto, all traditional root vegetables and plantains must be completely omitted, leaving a pure meat and broth experience.
Key ingredients
Various meats (beef, chicken, pork, etc.), broth, bell peppers, onions, garlic, culantro, cilantro, tomato paste (minimal), spices.
How to make it keto
Absolutely critical to specify "sin víveres" (no root vegetables/starches) – this means no yuca, ñame, yautía, potatoes, or plantains. Request only the meats and broth.
Watch out for
Fundamentally defined by its high-carb root vegetables (víveres) and plantains; hidden sugars in broth or seasoning mixes; tomato paste contributes carbs. This is the riskiest due to the core identity of the dish.
