Keto Papas Rellenas de Coliflor y Carne
Keto Stuffed Cauliflower 'Potatoes' with Ground Beef
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request a cauliflower base instead of potato. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the beloved Ecuadorian 'Papas Rellenas'. This version uses a seasoned mashed cauliflower 'shell' in place of potato, generously filled with savory ground beef, hard-boiled egg, and traditional spices. The 'patties' are then lightly pan-fried or baked until golden and firm.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower, ground beef, hard-boiled egg, red onion, garlic, bell pepper, cumin, achiote, olive oil, salt, black pepper. (Optional: almond flour for light coating, fresh cheese in filling).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request a cauliflower base instead of potato. Confirm no wheat flour or cornstarch is used in the binding or coating. Ensure the ground beef filling has no hidden sugars or high-carb ingredients.
Watch out for
Traditional potato base, flour-based breading or binders, high-carb fillings (e.g., peas, carrots), hidden sugars in sauce or filling.
