Migas de Couve com Carne de Porco
Cabbage 'Migas' with Slow-Cooked Pork
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A robust and keto-friendly adaptation of the rustic 'Migas', where finely shredded cabbage or collard greens are sautéed with garlic, generous olive oil, and often combined with succulent slow-cooked pork (similar to 'Carne de Porco à Alentejana' but without clams/potatoes). This version entirely replaces the traditional bread or cornmeal with nutritious cabbage.
Key ingredients
Cabbage (or collard greens), slow-cooked pork (e.g., pork belly, shoulder), extra virgin olive oil, garlic, red wine vinegar (optional), salt, pepper, paprika.
Optional tweaks
Crucially, ensure this dish is made entirely with cabbage/greens and contains no bread, cornmeal, or flour. Confirm the pork preparation does not include high-carb ingredients like potatoes or bread for thickening.
Watch out for
Traditional 'Migas' is bread-based, so confirming this specific cabbage-only version is paramount. Some pork preparations might include root vegetables or flour thickeners.
