Polvo à Lagareiro com Legumes Cozidos
Roasted Octopus Lagareiro Style with Boiled Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request no 'batatas a murro' (punched potatoes). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender boiled octopus, then roasted in the oven with generous amounts of olive oil, garlic, and sliced onions until golden. The octopus becomes incredibly flavorful and slightly crispy. Traditionally served with 'batatas a murro' (smashed potatoes), which should be replaced.
Key ingredients
Octopus, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, onions (in moderation), bay leaf, parsley, side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., green beans, spinach).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no 'batatas a murro' (punched potatoes). Ask for steamed or boiled green vegetables as a side instead.
Watch out for
Traditional inclusion of potatoes. Onions contain natural sugars; request in moderation if possible. Some recipes might use breadcrumbs as a thickener, always confirm.
