What it is
A fragrant and flavorful coastal stew, buzara typically features fresh seafood like mussels, shrimp, or squid cooked in a rich sauce of olive oil, garlic, white wine, and often a touch of tomato. Traditionally served with bread for dipping into the sauce.
Key ingredients
Mixed seafood (mussels, shrimp, squid), olive oil, garlic, white wine, minimal tomato paste/puree, parsley, salt, pepper
How to make it keto
Crucially, request NO bread for dipping. Ask for minimal use of tomato paste/puree and white wine, or if they can use even less for a lower carb count.
Watch out for
Bread (for dipping) is the main risk. Moderate amounts of white wine and tomato paste/puree can contribute to total carbs; ensure these are used sparingly.
