Costillas de Cerdo en Adobo Negro (Keto Modificado)
Pork Ribs in Black Adobo Sauce (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: no sugar should be added to the adobo sauce, and no starchy thickeners like masa. About 10g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender pork ribs slow-cooked until fall-off-the-bone, immersed in a rich, dark adobo sauce. This complex sauce is traditionally made with charred dried chiles (like pasilla and ancho), spices, and aromatics. The keto version ensures no sugars or starchy thickeners are used in the adobo.
Key ingredients
Pork ribs, dried chiles (e.g., pasilla, ancho, mulato), fresh tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, onion, vinegar, cumin, oregano, cloves, black pepper, olive oil, salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no sugar should be added to the adobo sauce, and no starchy thickeners like masa. Served without traditional carb-heavy side dishes such as rice or beans.
