Longanizas Asadas con Guacamol
Grilled Guatemalan Pork Sausages with Guacamole and Keto Salad
Yes, with a tweak: confirm the longanizas contain no high-carb fillers (like bread crumbs or potato starch) or added sugar, which can be present in some sausages. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Guatemalan longanizas are fresh pork sausages, typically seasoned with unique herbs like spearmint, along with garlic and onion. When grilled until juicy and charred, they make an excellent keto protein source. Served traditionally with rice and beans, a keto version replaces these with a generous portion of fresh guacamole and a simple green salad.
Key ingredients
Guatemalan longanizas (pork sausages), typically seasoned with spearmint, onion, garlic. Served with a large scoop of guacamole (avocado, onion, cilantro, lime) and a simple green salad (lettuce, cucumber, radish) with vinaigrette.
How to make it keto
Confirm the longanizas contain no high-carb fillers (like bread crumbs or potato starch) or added sugar, which can be present in some sausages. Request no rice, beans, or tortillas.
Watch out for
Hidden fillers or sugar in the sausages themselves. Some restaurant vinaigrettes can be sweetened. Avocado, while keto-friendly, contains some natural carbs.
