Keto Modified Isda Pochero
Braised Fish with Low-Carb Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: omit saba bananas, potatoes, and chickpeas. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Filipino food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A savory and tangy fish stew, traditionally with saba bananas and potatoes. The keto version omits these and focuses on a firm white fish (e.g., Lapu-Lapu, Tilapia) braised in a flavorful tomato-based broth with cabbage, bok choy, and green beans.
Key ingredients
Fish (e.g., Lapu-Lapu, Tilapia), tomato sauce/paste, garlic, onion, cabbage, bok choy, green beans, fish sauce, black pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Omit saba bananas, potatoes, and chickpeas. Ensure no sugar is added to the sauce. Request extra low-carb vegetables like cabbage or bok choy.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in tomato sauce/paste, carb creep from generous portions of vegetables if not carefully selected.
