How to make it keto
Absolutely essential to request *no cubed fried potatoes*. Confirm that no flour or other starches are used to thicken the sauce.
Watch out for
White wine, bell peppers, and potentially a small amount of onion (if used) contribute to total carbs. Hidden sugars can be found in pre-made marinades or in small quantities in tomato paste (if a variant uses it, though uncommon for this specific dish).
