Bacalhau Mexido com Couve-Flor e Ovos (Estilo Brás Keto)
Scrambled Cod with Cauliflower and Eggs (Keto Brás Style)
Yes, keto as served. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto reinterpretation of the classic Bacalhau à Brás. Instead of straw potatoes, this version uses finely riced or shredded cauliflower, sautéed with flaked cod, onions, garlic, and then scrambled with eggs until creamy. Finished with fresh parsley and black olives, it captures the essence and flavor profile of the original dish in a low-carb format, making it a truly keto-friendly option.
Key ingredients
Salted cod (bacalhau), riced cauliflower, eggs, olive oil, onions, garlic, fresh parsley, black olives, salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
This dish is inherently keto-modified, so specific modifications at the restaurant would be to confirm the use of cauliflower instead of potatoes and to request extra olive oil if desired.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Queria o Bacalhau Mexido com couve-flor em vez de batatas.
I'd like the Bacalhau Mexido with cauliflower instead of potatoes.
Watch out for
Onions and a small amount of olives contribute minimal carbs. Ensure no potato is accidentally added or hidden thickeners in the egg mixture.
