What it is
A rustic and deeply satisfying Paraguayan dish featuring generous pieces of pork belly or fatty pork meat, slowly rendered and fried in their own fat until they become incredibly crispy and golden brown. Seasoned simply with salt, this dish is naturally high in fat and protein, making it an excellent keto option without any modifications required, other than ensuring no breading.
Key ingredients
Pork belly or fatty pork cuts, salt.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no breading (harina) or sugary marinades are applied. Confirm it is purely fried pork.
Watch out for
The only carb risk would be if it's served alongside mandioca, corn bread, or other starchy sides, which must be explicitly avoided.
