Taro Leaves Cooked in Coconut Milk with Pork
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Filipino food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A Bicolano specialty, taro leaves are meticulously wrapped around a filling of pork (typically fatty belly) and aromatics, then slow-cooked in rich coconut milk until tender and flavorful. Naturally high in fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Taro leaves, pork belly, ginger, garlic, onion, siling labuyo (chili), coconut milk, bagoong (shrimp paste - check for sugar).
Optional tweaks
Confirm no added sugar in the coconut milk sauce.
Watch out for
Some restaurants might add a touch of sugar to the coconut milk sauce for balance; taro leaves have some natural carbs, but generally within keto limits for a serving.
