Trippa Saltata (Senza Panatura)
Pan-Seared Tripe (Unbreaded)
Yes, with a tweak: ask for 'senza panatura' (without breading/flour). About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Italian dishes.
What it is
Tripe (typically beef stomach) that has been pre-boiled until tender, then sliced and pan-seared until crispy. Traditionally often lightly floured for crispness, but delicious and keto without.
Key ingredients
Beef tripe, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes (optional), lemon, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ask for 'senza panatura' (without breading/flour). Ensure it's pan-seared and not served with a tomato-based sauce (unless confirmed to be sugar-free and low-carb) or beans. Request low-carb vegetable sides.
Say this to the waiter (Italian)
La Trippa Saltata, per favore, senza panatura e solo saltata. No salsa di pomodoro o fagioli. Gradirei un contorno di verdure a basso contenuto di carboidrati.
Trippa Saltata, please, without breading, pan-seared. No tomato sauce or beans. I'd like low-carb vegetable sides instead.
Watch out for
Flour dredging is common for crispy fried tripe. If served 'in umido' (stewed), the sauce might contain sugars or be thickened. Ensure no high-carb sides like polenta or potatoes are included.
