Pincho de Cerdo Adobado con Pimentón y Cebolla
Marinated Pork Skewers with Bell Pepper and Onion
Yes, with a tweak: ensure the marinade is sugar-free. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Nicaraguan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent chunks of pork, marinated in a flavorful blend of achiote, garlic, sour orange, and spices, skewered with bell peppers and onions, then grilled until tender and slightly charred.
Key ingredients
Pork loin/tenderloin, achiote paste or powder, sour orange juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, bell peppers (red, green), onions, olive oil, salt, black pepper, small green salad (for keto side).
How to make it keto
Ensure the marinade is sugar-free. Request extra skewers of vegetables or a simple side salad with oil and vinegar dressing, omitting traditional starchy sides.
Watch out for
Sugar in the marinade, sweet glazes, or high-carb dipping sauces.
