Grelhados Mistos
Portuguese Mixed Grill Platter with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no fries or rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A generous platter featuring a variety of flame-grilled meats, typically including pork steak, chicken, and often Portuguese sausages (like chouriço). Seasoned simply with salt, pepper, garlic, and olive oil, and served with a large portion of mixed green vegetables or a fresh salad, replacing traditional starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Various grilled meats (e.g., pork steak, chicken thigh, chouriço sausage), olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, mixed greens, bell peppers, onions, lemon.
How to make it keto
Request no fries or rice. Ask for a large green salad (dressing on the side) or steamed/sautéed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, asparagus). Confirm sausages are low-carb (e.g., chouriço, avoiding alheira with bread).
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batata frita ou arroz, por favor. Quero uma salada grande só com azeite e vinagre, ou vegetais grelhados low-carb.
No fries or rice, please. I'd like a large side salad with only oil and vinegar, or grilled non-starchy vegetables.
Watch out for
Fries/rice are served by default. Some sausages (like alheira) contain bread, so specify a low-carb option like chouriço. Salad dressings, onions/bell peppers in grilled veg.
