Yes, with a tweak: confirm with the restaurant that the longanizas are not heavily filled with rice, potato, or bread. About 11g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Savory Guatemalan pork sausages, seasoned with herbs and spices, typically grilled or pan-fried. Served keto-style without traditional high-carb sides, accompanied instead by grilled onions and a fresh, unsweetened salsa.
Key ingredients
Pork sausage (longaniza, check for fillers), cooking oil, onions, bell peppers (for grilling), tomatoes, cilantro, lime (for salsa), salt, pepper, spices.
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm with the restaurant that the longanizas are not heavily filled with rice, potato, or bread. Request no tortillas, no rice, no beans, and no potatoes. Ask for grilled onions, bell peppers, or a side of fresh chirmol (tomato and onion salsa) without added sugar.
Watch out for
Hidden rice or bread fillers in the sausage itself. Sugar in marinades or accompanying sauces. Standard high-carb sides if not explicitly omitted. Ensure any accompanying salsa is sugar-free.
