Lengua Estofada (Keto Modificado)
Stewed Beef Tongue (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no starchy vegetables (potatoes, carrots) are added to the stew. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Paraguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender beef tongue, slow-cooked until meltingly soft in a rich, savory broth with keto-friendly vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and herbs. A hearty and flavorful dish, different from the cold vinaigrette version.
Key ingredients
Beef tongue, onions, bell peppers, herbs
How to make it keto
