Chivo Guisado (Keto Modificado)
Goat Stew (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no rice, plantains, yuca, potatoes, or other root vegetables. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Puerto Rican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender chunks of goat meat slow-cooked in a rich and aromatic stew with bell peppers, onions, garlic, and traditional herbs. This version is modified to omit the typical high-carb accompaniments like rice or root vegetables, focusing solely on the savory meat and sauce.
Key ingredients
Goat meat, olive oil, onions, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes/tomato paste, sofrito, cilantro, spices (cumin, oregano, bay leaf).
