Caldeirada de Peixe Keto
Portuguese Keto Fish and Seafood Stew (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes, carrots, or peas. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A rich and flavorful fish and seafood stew, traditionally prepared with various types of fish, shellfish, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and often potatoes. For keto, potatoes and other high-carb vegetables like carrots must be omitted, and no flour should be used as a thickener.
Key ingredients
Assorted fish (e.g., snapper, cod, monkfish), shellfish (e.g., prawns, mussels), olive oil, onions, garlic, bell peppers (red, green), canned diced tomatoes (small amount), fresh herbs (coriander, parsley), bay leaf, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, carrots, or peas. Confirm no flour or other thickeners are used in the broth. Focus on fish, shellfish, and bell peppers.
