Key ingredients
Rehydrated salt cod, olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, black pepper, salt, selected keto-friendly vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, spinach, green beans).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Ask for a side of sautéed or roasted green vegetables (like broccoli, asparagus, or spinach) instead. Confirm no sugar in any marinades or sauces used for the vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Para o Bacalhau à Lagareiro, por favor, sem batatas. Poderia substituir por legumes verdes salteados? Sem açúcar no tempero.
