Polvo à Lagareiro com Legumes Verdes
Lagareiro-Style Octopus with Green Vegetables
Yes, with a tweak: request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes) and explicitly ask for a side of green vegetables. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender octopus, first boiled to perfection, then roasted in a generous bath of rich olive oil with an abundance of smashed garlic cloves and fresh cilantro. This keto version substitutes the traditional 'punched potatoes' with a hearty serving of steamed or sautéed green vegetables like broccoli or green beans, soaking up the flavorful oil.
Key ingredients
Octopus, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, fresh cilantro, bay leaf, salt, pepper. Keto green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans).
How to make it keto
Crucially, request 'sem batatas' (without potatoes) and explicitly ask for a side of green vegetables. Confirm no flour or thickeners are used in the sauce or cooking process.
Watch out for
Garlic can contribute to carb count, especially if very large quantities are used. The traditional potatoes are a primary carb source and must be strictly avoided.
