Guiso de Chorizo y Vegetales (Keto, Inspirado en Guiso de Lentejas)
Keto Chorizo and Vegetable Stew (Lentil Stew Inspired)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly omit all lentils, potatoes, and other high-carb legumes or vegetables. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Paraguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty, rustic stew, inspired by the comforting flavors of a traditional lentil stew but completely re-imagined for keto. This version features robust Paraguayan chorizo (or other savory sausages) and often succulent pork belly, simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-based broth with a generous amount of low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, celery, zucchini, and leafy greens. Lentils are entirely omitted.
Key ingredients
Paraguayan chorizo (or similar sausage), pork belly, bell peppers, celery, zucchini, spinach/kale, onions, garlic, sugar-free tomato paste, beef broth, olive oil, spices (paprika, cumin), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
