Shredded salted cod (bacalhau desfiado), eggs, olive oil, onions, garlic, cauliflower, black olives, parsley.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for cauliflower (couve-flor) to replace the potatoes (batata palha). Ensure no actual potatoes are used. Confirm no flour or sugar is used in the dish. Request extra olive oil if desired.
Watch out for
The defining characteristic of traditional Bacalhau à Brás is the fried potato straws (batata palha), which are very high carb. Ensure the cauliflower substitution is strictly adhered to. Onions and garlic contribute some carbs. Potential for hidden sugars in restaurants.
