Mollejas de Res al Mojo de Ajo
Beef Sweetbreads or Gizzards in Garlic Sauce
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Guatemalan dishes.
What it is
Tender beef mollejas (which can refer to sweetbreads or gizzards depending on regional interpretation) sautéed to perfection in a rich, buttery garlic sauce. A delicacy often served as an appetizer or main course, naturally low in carbs and full of flavor.
Key ingredients
Beef mollejas, fresh garlic, butter, olive oil, cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the garlic sauce. Request to be served without any traditional carb accompaniments like tortillas, rice, or bread.
Watch out for
Hidden starchy thickeners in the sauce, any sugar in marinades (unlikely for 'mojo de ajo' style).
