Carne de Porco com Amêijoas e Legumes Verdes
Pork and Clams with Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: no fried potato cubes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A flavorful and unique dish marrying marinated pork pieces with fresh clams, cooked in a rich sauce of olive oil, garlic, white wine, paprika, and cilantro. This keto adaptation substitutes the traditional fried potato cubes with healthy green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Pork loin/cubes, clams, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, dry white wine, bay leaf, paprika, cilantro, green beans or collard greens, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no fried potato cubes. Request green vegetables like green beans or collard greens. Confirm no sugar in the sauce and dry white wine is used.
Watch out for
White wine contributes some carbs. Paprika should be pure; check for added fillers. Ensure no flour is used to thicken the sauce and no hidden sugars in marinades.
