Keto Bacalhau "Brás Style"
Shredded Cod with Eggs, Onions, and Cauliflower "Fries"
Yes, with a tweak: ensure cauliflower is used instead of potatoes. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the classic Bacalhau à Brás, replacing the traditional shoestring potatoes with 'fries' made from cauliflower. Salted cod is shredded and sautéed with thinly sliced onions, garlic, and then mixed with scrambled eggs, generously seasoned, and finished with fresh parsley and black olives.
Key ingredients
Shredded salted cod (bacalhau), extra virgin olive oil, onions, garlic, eggs, parsley, black olives, cauliflower (as potato substitute), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure cauliflower is used instead of potatoes. Confirm no flour or potato starch is used to thicken the egg mixture. Request generous olive oil.
Watch out for
The traditional dish is fundamentally built around shoestring fried potatoes. Cauliflower can still contribute carbs in large portions. Hidden flour in the egg mixture.
