Polvo à Lagareiro com Aspargos Grelhados
Roasted Octopus Lagareiro Style with Grilled Asparagus
Yes, with a tweak: strictly request no potatoes. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Portuguese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender roasted octopus, generously drenched in olive oil with plenty of garlic. Modified for keto by serving with grilled asparagus instead of the traditional 'batatas a murro' (punched potatoes), highlighting the rich flavors of the seafood, garlic, and olive oil.
Key ingredients
Cooked octopus, abundant olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, salt, pepper. Served with grilled asparagus spears.
How to make it keto
Strictly request no potatoes. Confirm no flour or starch is used in preparing the octopus. Request grilled asparagus or other non-starchy green vegetables.
Watch out for
High garlic content, potential use of onions, sauces containing thickeners (unlikely for this dish but possible).
