Xerém de Amêijoas (Estilo Keto com Couve-flor Rizada)
Keto Clam 'Xerém' (with Cauliflower Grits)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request cauliflower rice instead of cornmeal (sêmola de milho). About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto-adapted take on the traditional Algarvian 'xerém', usually a hearty cornmeal porridge. This version replaces the high-carb cornmeal with finely riced cauliflower, cooked with succulent clams, garlic, olive oil, and fresh coriander for an authentic flavor profile without the carbs.
Key ingredients
Fresh clams, riced cauliflower, olive oil, garlic, white wine, fresh coriander, salt, pepper, a touch of red pepper flakes.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request cauliflower rice instead of cornmeal (sêmola de milho). Confirm no flour or starch is used for thickening.
Watch out for
Small amount of carbs from cauliflower, garlic, and white wine (minimal residual).
