What it is
A rustic and flavorful rabbit stew ('Seco de Conejo'), slow-cooked until the meat is exceptionally tender. The aromatic sauce is typically made with naranjilla juice, bell peppers, onions, garlic, cumin, and fresh herbs. This keto rendition ensures no traditional chicha (fermented corn beer) or other starchy thickeners are used, and it's served with a side of steamed or sautéed keto-friendly vegetables instead of rice or potatoes.
Key ingredients
Rabbit pieces, unsweetened naranjilla juice, red onion, green bell pepper, garlic, cumin, achiote powder, fresh cilantro, chicken broth, olive oil, salt, pepper, green beans, broccoli florets.
How to make it keto

Watch out for
Naranjilla juice may contain sugar. Traditional recipes often include chicha, which is high in carbs. Starchy thickeners can be used in restaurant preparations. High-carb sides are standard.
