Polvo à Lagareiro (Keto com Azeitonas e Azeite de Alho)
Roasted Octopus with Olives and Garlic Oil (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: request no potatoes. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
Tender boiled octopus, then roasted to perfection with an abundance of olive oil, whole garlic cloves, and black olives. This keto version omits the traditional 'batatas a murro' (punched roasted potatoes), focusing solely on the flavorful octopus and its rich accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Cooked octopus, olive oil, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, black olives, fresh cilantro or parsley, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no potatoes. Ensure the octopus is simply roasted with olive oil, garlic, and olives, with no added starches or sugars.
Watch out for
The primary carb risk is the traditional potato side if not explicitly omitted.
