Sancocho (Keto Sin Víveres)
Dominican Meaty Stew (Keto, No Starchy Vegetables)

What it is
A rich, multi-meat Dominican stew, traditionally made with various root vegetables. For keto, it's prepared by omitting all starchy vegetables (yuca, yautía, plantain, potato) and focusing on the deeply flavored broth and a generous serving of assorted meats (beef, chicken, pork). The broth is usually flavored with sofrito and herbs.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., short ribs, stew meat), chicken (e.g., bone-in thighs), pork (e.g., pork shoulder, smoked ham), beef broth, sofrito (onions, garlic, bell peppers, cilantro, oregano), olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
