Triple Meat Festive Stew (No Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice or tortillas. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Guatemalan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A magnificent celebratory stew, traditionally featuring a harmonious blend of chicken, pork, and sometimes turkey, all enveloped in a deeply complex and spicy red sauce. The sauce is prepared with an array of chiles (like guaque, pasa, and cobanero), tomatoes, and tomatillos, making it a truly festive dish.
Key ingredients
Chicken, pork, (turkey if included), tomatoes, tomatillos, various chiles (guaque, pasa, cobanero), onion, garlic, spices, broth, lard/oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no rice or tortillas. Confirm that no high-carb thickeners (like masa) are used in the sauce, or that their use is completely avoided.
Watch out for
Similar to other stews, masa as a thickener, potential hidden sugars, and any high-carb vegetables if included. The robust chile and tomato base also contributes more carbohydrates than lighter dishes.
