Almejas al Ajillo
Clams in Garlic Sauce
Yes, keto as served. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Fresh clams sautéed in generous amounts of olive oil with thinly sliced garlic, white wine (or dry sherry for a keto option), a touch of red pepper flakes, and fresh parsley. Served as is, or with a side of steamed keto-friendly vegetables.
Key ingredients
Clams, olive oil, garlic, white wine/dry sherry, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread or rice is served. Confirm white wine used is dry, or substitute with dry sherry or clam juice/broth and a splash of vinegar/lemon juice.
Watch out for
Some restaurants might add a small amount of flour to thicken the sauce (unlikely for al ajillo but possible), or use a sweeter wine. Portion size of garlic can add carbs.
