How to make it keto
This is a direct and necessary modification of 'Bacalhau à Brás' to remove its defining high-carb ingredient. Ensure absolutely no fried shoestring potatoes are included. Onions are lightly caramelized, contributing minimal carbs but significant flavor.
Watch out for
The authentic 'Bacalhau à Brás' is fundamentally defined by fried shoestring potatoes, which must be entirely omitted. Caramelized onions contribute some natural sugar and thus carbs.
