Lomo de Cerdo en Salsa de Ciruela (Keto)
Pork Loin in Plum Sauce (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: the plum sauce must be prepared without added sugar and with minimal plums to control carb count. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Nicaraguan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A succulent pork loin cooked and served with a rich, savory plum sauce. The sauce is traditionally sweet, but for keto, it's prepared with a sugar substitute or minimal natural sweetness from plums and no added sugar.
Key ingredients
Pork loin, fresh or dried plums (in moderation), chicken broth, onion, garlic, red wine (optional), olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia).
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: The plum sauce must be prepared without added sugar and with minimal plums to control carb count. Request sugar substitute for sweetness if needed. Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used as a thickener. Served without starchy sides.
Watch out for
High sugar content from plums themselves (fruit sugar), added sugar in the sauce (the primary risk), flour/cornstarch thickeners, starchy side dishes.
