Bacalhau Grelhado com Grelos

What it is

Key ingredients
Salted codfish (bacalhau), olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes). Ask for 'grelos' (turnip greens) or other low-carb vegetables like spinach or broccoli, sautéed in olive oil.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
O Bacalhau Grelhado, por favor, sem batatas. Peço mais grelos ou outro legume como espinafres ou brócolos, salteados em azeite.
For the Bacalhau Grelhado, no potatoes, please. Can I have extra grelos, spinach, or broccoli, sautéed in olive oil instead?
Watch out for
Boiled potatoes are a standard accompaniment; strict omission is necessary. The cod itself is naturally keto.
