Costilla de Cerdo en Adobo Rojo (Keto Modificado, Sin Azúcar)
Pork Ribs in Red Adobo (Keto Modified, Sugar-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly no added sugar, brown sugar, or honey. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent pork ribs slow-cooked in a rich, complex red adobo sauce made from dried chiles, spices, and a touch of vinegar, carefully prepared to be sugar-free. This intensely flavorful dish is a traditional favorite, now reimagined for a keto lifestyle by eliminating added sugars and starchy thickeners.
