Keto Marmitako (Guiso de Bonito con Verduras)
Keto Tuna and Vegetable Stew
Yes, with a tweak: omit potatoes entirely. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Spanish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A hearty Basque tuna stew, traditionally made with potatoes, modified to include low-carb vegetables like cauliflower or zucchini instead, simmered in a rich tomato, onion, and pepper broth with chunks of fresh bonito tuna.
Key ingredients
Fresh tuna (bonito), olive oil, onions, garlic, green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes (crushed/pureed), cauliflower florets, zucchini, fish broth, parsley, paprika, bay leaf, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit potatoes entirely. Ensure no flour or starch is used as a thickener in the stew. Confirm that the restaurant substitutes high-carb vegetables with low-carb alternatives like cauliflower or zucchini.
Watch out for
Potatoes, peas, or other starchy vegetables if not explicitly removed. Hidden sugars in canned tomatoes or commercial broths. Flour used as a thickener in the stew.
