What it is

Key ingredients
Octopus, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, roasted broccoli.
How to make it keto
Request no 'batatas a murro' (punched potatoes). Ask for roasted broccoli, steamed asparagus, or other keto-friendly green vegetables as a side. Confirm no sugary marinades are used on the vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Sem batatas a murro, por favor. Pode ser brócolos assados ou espargos cozidos a vapor como acompanhamento? Confirma que os vegetais não têm marinada com açúcar?
No batatas a murro, please. Can I have roasted broccoli or steamed asparagus as a side? Confirm no sugary marinades on the vegetables.
Watch out for
Cross-contamination with potato starch if cooked on the same pan. Vegetables might be inadvertently prepared with sugary glazes.
