What it is
A robust selection of various boiled and stewed meats (such as beef, pork ribs, and chicken) along with traditional Portuguese smoked sausages and low-carb vegetables, served without the usual starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Beef (e.g., oxtail, brisket), pork (e.g., ribs, ear), chicken, chouriço (pork sausage), cabbage, turnip greens, cooking broth.
How to make it keto
Carefully select only the meat components (beef, pork, chicken, and pure meat sausages like chouriço). Explicitly request to omit all high-carb vegetables like potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, and rice. Focus on cabbage or turnip greens.
Watch out for
Many traditional Portuguese sausages (e.g., farinheira) contain flour or bread. Ensure the chosen sausages are pure meat. The broth may contain residual carbs from boiled root vegetables. High-carb vegetables are standard in this dish, so strict selection is critical.
