What it is
Butifarra is a distinctive Paraguayan fresh pork sausage, known for its coarser texture and savory seasoning, often including garlic and spices. It is grilled or pan-fried until nicely browned and cooked through. For a keto meal, it is served with a simple, refreshing side salad of lettuce, tomato, and onion, dressed with oil and vinegar, specifically omitting any traditional bread or starchy accompaniments like mandioca.
