Beef Head and Trotter Stew (Keto Modified, No Chickpeas)

Key ingredients
Beef head meat, beef trotters, extra virgin olive oil, onions, garlic, ripe tomatoes, bell peppers (red/green), dry white wine, beef broth, paprika, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, a touch of chili.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no chickpeas (garbanzos). Confirm that no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the stew. Request a side of non-starchy green vegetables if available.
Watch out for
Chickpeas (garbanzos). Flour thickeners for the sauce. Hidden sugars in tomato sauce or commercial broths.
