What it is

Key ingredients
Assorted offal (cow tongue, kidney, liver, tripe), unripe habanero peppers, green bell peppers, onions, bleach-free palm oil, iru (fermented locust beans), seasoning cubes (check for sugar), salt.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no Ofada rice or any carb side. Confirm no sugar in seasoning cubes. Restaurant versions can be very oily; request less oil if preferred.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in seasoning cubes. High quantities of onions and peppers can increase total carbs. Some chefs might use small amounts of tomato, which adds carbs.
