What it is
A keto-adapted version of the classic 'Bacalhau à Brás'. Salted cod (bacalhau) is shredded and sautéed with onions and garlic, then combined with scrambled eggs and shredded cauliflower (replacing the traditional straw-fried potatoes), and typically finished with black olives and parsley.
Key ingredients
Salted cod (bacalhau), olive oil, onions, garlic, shredded cauliflower, eggs, black olives, fresh parsley.
How to make it keto
The dish itself is a modification. Confirm the use of cauliflower 'rice' or finely shredded cauliflower instead of potatoes. Ensure no flour is used to thicken.
