Bacalhau Grelhado com Couve Cozida
Grilled Cod with Boiled Cabbage and Olive Oil
Yes, with a tweak: omit the traditional boiled potatoes ('batatas cozidas'). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
A thick, flaky portion of desalted codfish, grilled until tender and moist, with a slightly charred exterior. For a keto version, it's served alongside simple boiled green cabbage, generously dressed with olive oil and garlic, replacing the traditional potatoes.
Key ingredients
Desalted codfish loin (bacalhau), extra virgin olive oil, garlic, boiled green cabbage, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the traditional boiled potatoes ('batatas cozidas'). Request a generous portion of boiled or steamed green vegetables like cabbage or collard greens, dressed with olive oil and garlic.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batatas cozidas, por favor. Quero uma porção generosa de vegetais verdes cozidos, como couve, com azeite e alho.
No boiled potatoes, please. I'd like a generous portion of boiled green vegetables, like cabbage, with olive oil and garlic.
Watch out for
Vegetables could be prepared with added sugar. Cross-contamination from grilling surfaces if shared with potatoes.
