Guatita (Keto Modificada)
Keto Modified Tripe Stew
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes or rice. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Ecuadorian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful stew made from tender beef tripe cooked in a savory sauce of unsweetened peanut butter, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Traditionally served with potatoes and rice, this keto version omits those starchy accompaniments, focusing on the hearty tripe and its creamy, spiced sauce.
Key ingredients
Beef tripe, unsweetened peanut butter, red onion, red bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, achiote oil, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes or rice. Explicitly confirm no sugar is added to the peanut sauce or sofrito. May be served with a side of sliced avocado.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in sofrito or peanut sauce; generous amounts of higher-carb vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers can accumulate net carbs.
