Iscas de Fígado com Cebolada (Keto)
Pan-Fried Liver with Onions and Peppers
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no boiled potatoes. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Slices of pan-fried liver (often pork or veal) marinated in white wine and garlic, served with a rich 'cebolada' (onion stew) that includes thinly sliced onions and bell peppers, omitting the traditional boiled potatoes.
Key ingredients
Pork or veal liver, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, salt, pepper, onions, bell peppers (green/red), parsley.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no boiled potatoes. Ensure bell peppers and onions are not overly abundant in the cebolada, or ask for fewer.
