How to make it keto
Request no potatoes ('sin papa') and no rice ('sin arroz'). Crucially, confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Ensure no added sugar is present in the ají pastes or the stew base. Request a generous portion of low-carb vegetables as accompaniment.
Watch out for
Flour/starch used as a thickener. Sugars in ají pastes. Served with high-carb sides by default. Some restaurant stews may include carrots or peas.
