Jardineira de Carne (com Legumes Baixos em Carboidratos)
Meat Jardinière (with Low-Carb Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: strictly exclude potatoes, carrots, and peas. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A classic meat stew (typically beef or pork) rich with a medley of vegetables. Modified for keto by using only low-carb vegetables like green beans, bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms instead of potatoes and carrots.
Key ingredients
Beef or pork chunks, olive oil, onion, garlic, dry white wine, beef broth, tomato paste (minimal), green beans, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, bay leaf, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Strictly exclude potatoes, carrots, and peas. Request specific low-carb vegetables. Ensure tomato paste is used sparingly, or ask for fresh diced tomatoes to control carb count. No flour for thickening.
Watch out for
The traditional version is heavy on potatoes, carrots, and peas. Tomato paste can be surprisingly high in carbs if used excessively, or contain added sugars. Flour thickeners.
