What it is
A popular Portuguese street food classic, transformed into a keto-friendly entree.

Served as a standalone protein dish, omitting the traditional bread roll, offering a tender and juicy meal.
Key ingredients
Pork cutlets, white wine, garlic, paprika, bay leaf, olive oil, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request to serve without the bread roll. Inquire if any flour or sugar is used to thicken the sauce; if so, request plain pan-fried pork without the problematic sauce.
Watch out for
White wine contains residual sugar (though usually minimal when cooked down). Potential sugar in marinade, and possible flour or cornstarch as a thickener in the sauce.
