Iscas com Elas (Keto Fried Liver with Sautéed Onions)
Fried Liver with Sautéed Onions (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: omit the boiled potatoes. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thin slices of pan-fried pork liver, often marinated in white wine and garlic, served with a generous portion of slowly caramelized sautéed onions. Traditionally, this dish is accompanied by boiled potatoes.
Key ingredients
Pork liver, white wine (for marinade), garlic, extra virgin olive oil, large yellow onions, sea salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit the boiled potatoes. Confirm that the liver is not dusted with any flour before frying. Be mindful of the quantity of onions, as caramelization concentrates their natural sugars.
Watch out for
Onions, especially when caramelized, can contribute a significant amount of carbs if a very large portion is served. The white wine in the marinade contains some residual sugar.
