Cremoso de Queso y Coliflor
Creamy Cauliflower with Cheese (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely ensure no rice is used; cauliflower must be the sole base. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Paraguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Cauliflower, local hard and semi-hard cheeses (e.g., queso Paraguay), heavy cream, unsalted butter, onion, garlic, eggs (as a binder), salt, black pepper.
