What it is
A substantial and hearty keto interpretation of the classic Portuguese stew, focusing solely on the delicious slow-boiled assortment of various meats (beef, pork belly, chorizos, chicken) and generous portions of tender cabbage, with all traditional high-carb root vegetables and legumes completely omitted.
Key ingredients
Assorted boiled meats (e.g., beef, pork belly, chouriço, morcela, chicken), cabbage, turnip greens (optional), salt, black pepper, cooking juices from the stew.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request only the meats and cabbage (or other low-carb greens like turnip greens). Ensure potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas are entirely excluded from the plate. Confirm no flour-based thickeners are used in the broth.
Watch out for
Some traditional sausages (e.g., morcela, alheira) may contain fillers or blood, increasing carb content. Carrots and chickpeas are common components if not strictly omitted.
