How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Ensure absolutely no flour or breading (apanado) is used for frying. Verify that no yuca frita or papa frita are served as standard sides. Confirm sarza criolla is pure and without corn or potatoes.
Watch out for
The most significant risk is hidden flour or breadcrumbs in the frying process. Some restaurants might use sugary marinades for the seafood. Traditional Jalea always comes with fried yuca and often corn.
