Gallina Horneada con Chirmol de Tomate de Árbol
Baked Hen with Tree Tomato Salsa
Yes, with a tweak: naturally keto, but ensure no sugary glazes are used on the hen. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Whole hen, seasoned and baked until golden and tender, served with a vibrant and tangy 'chirmol' salsa made from roasted tree tomatoes (tamarillo), cilantro, onion, and chili.
Key ingredients
Whole hen, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, tree tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño/serrano pepper.
How to make it keto
Naturally keto, but ensure no sugary glazes are used on the hen. Request 'chirmol' without added sugar. Serve with keto vegetable sides, not rice or tortillas.
Watch out for
Tree tomatoes contain natural sugars, so portion control for the chirmol is important. Ensure no added sugar in the chirmol or hen seasoning.
