Mamposteao de Cerdo (Keto Modificado)
Keto Pork Hash
Yes, with a tweak: strictly exclude rice, beans, or any other high-carb starchy ingredients. About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Puerto Rican dishes.
What it is
A savory and robust hash made primarily from diced, flavorful pork (often leftover roast pork or pork shoulder) combined with sautéed bell peppers, onions, garlic, and cilantro. This keto version focuses on the richly seasoned meat and vegetables, omitting the traditional rice and beans found in regular mamposteao, offering a hearty and satisfying low-carb meal.
Key ingredients
Diced roast pork (or pork shoulder), olive oil, sofrito (onions, garlic, peppers, culantro, cilantro), spices (oregano, cumin), diced tomatoes (unsweetened), chicken broth.
How to make it keto
Strictly exclude rice, beans, or any other high-carb starchy ingredients. Ensure no added sugar in sofrito or tomato products.
Watch out for
Traditional mamposteao inherently contains high-carb rice and beans. Hidden sugars in sofrito, tomato products, or seasonings. Cross-contamination if prepared on a shared griddle with high-carb dishes.
