Seco de Chivo
Goat Stew (without rice or potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, no potatoes, no peas, and no carrots. About 9g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A flavorful and tender goat stew, slow-cooked in a rich, dark sauce with fresh cilantro, ají panca, and aromatic spices. While traditionally made with chicha de jora, a keto modification minimizes or omits this component.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, fresh cilantro, ají panca paste, red onion, garlic, cumin, beef or goat broth, olive oil, salt, black pepper, minimal (or omitted) chicha de jora.
How to make it keto
Request no rice, no potatoes, no peas, and no carrots. Ensure chicha de jora is either completely omitted or reduced to negligible carb content. Confirm no added sugar in ají pastes or sauces.
Watch out for
Rice, potatoes, peas, and carrots are very common additions. Chicha de jora (fermented corn drink) contains carbs and must be minimized or evaporated. Hidden sugar in ají pastes.
