How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'sem batata' (without potato) and ask for 'com couve salteada' (with sautéed cabbage) or another low-carb vegetable replacement. Confirm no flour or thickeners are used in the eggs or sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Gostaria do Bacalhau com couve salteada no lugar da batata, por favor. E sem farinha ou espessantes nos ovos ou no molho.
I'd like the Bacalhau with sautéed cabbage instead of potato, please. Ensure no flour or thickeners in the eggs or sauce.
Watch out for
Potential for hidden thickeners in the eggs or sauce, or a small amount of potato still mixed in if not strictly requested. Onions contribute some carbs, but generally manageable.
