How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes or rice. Ask for roasted keto-friendly vegetables or a simple green salad as a side. Confirm no sugary glazes or rubs are used on the pig.
Watch out for
Traditional potato or rice sides. Check for sugary rubs or basting liquids, though typically Leitão is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic.
