Bacalhau com Couve-Flor à Brás
Cod with Scrambled Eggs and Cauliflower 'Fries'
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request cauliflower instead of traditional potatoes. About 10.5g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A clever keto adaptation of the beloved Portuguese classic 'Bacalhau à Brás'. Salted cod, shredded and sautéed with plenty of olive oil, onions, and garlic, is combined with finely shredded and lightly fried cauliflower 'matchsticks' in place of potatoes. It's then mixed with scrambled eggs and garnished with black olives and fresh parsley, creating a rich, savory, and satisfying dish.
Key ingredients
Salted cod, cauliflower, eggs, olive oil, onions, garlic, black olives, parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request cauliflower instead of traditional potatoes. Confirm no flour or thickeners are used in the egg mixture.
Watch out for
Onions (used in moderate amounts), potential for small amounts of sugar in any pre-made cod or seasoning mixtures (though unlikely for this traditional dish).
