How to make it keto
Ensure the smoked meat preparation has no added sugars in the curing/marinade. Request greens to be sautéed in oil without high-carb additions like carrots or excessive tomatoes. Served without ugali, rice, or potatoes.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the smoking process or marinade. Sugars in tomato paste if used in the meat stew. Excessive use of onions or carrots in the greens can increase carb count.
