What it is
A hearty Filipino stew featuring tender beef or chicken braised in a rich tomato sauce. Modified for keto by omitting traditional high-carb ingredients like plantains, chickpeas, potatoes, and chorizo. Instead, it's served with a selection of low-carb vegetables such as green beans, cabbage, and bell peppers.
Key ingredients
Beef shanks or chicken cuts, tomato sauce (sugar-free), onions, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, green beans, cabbage, bell peppers, bone broth, olive oil or tallow.
If you order it anyway
Request omission of plantains, chickpeas, potatoes, and chorizo. Confirm tomato sauce is sugar-free. Ask for additional low-carb vegetables like green beans and cabbage.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce or broth. High-carb vegetables like plantains, potatoes, or chickpeas if not explicitly omitted. Cornstarch thickeners in restaurant sauces.
