What it is
A rich, savory stew made from tender pork trotters, simmered in a creamy sauce of ground peanuts, ají panca, and other Peruvian spices. This hearty dish is traditionally served with potatoes, which must be explicitly omitted for a keto diet. The sauce provides a significant fat content.
Key ingredients
Pork trotters, peanuts, ají panca, garlic, onion, cumin, turmeric, bay leaves, chicken broth, olive oil, cilantro.
How to make it keto
Omit potatoes entirely. Confirm with the restaurant that no sugar is added to the peanut sauce, which can sometimes be a risk with commercial preparations.
Watch out for
Potatoes are the main carb and must be excluded. Hidden sugars in pre-made peanut pastes or sauces can contribute to net carbs. Peanuts themselves contain moderate carbs.
