Tigres (Mejillones Rellenos Keto)
Stuffed Mussels (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: crucially ensure no flour is used for the béchamel or any breading for frying. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Spanish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Large mussels, typically spicy, filled with a savory and creamy mixture that traditionally uses a béchamel sauce and is often breaded. Modified for keto, this version uses a rich, flour-free cream sauce for the filling, ensuring no breading.
Key ingredients
Large mussels, olive oil or butter, onion, garlic, finely chopped mussel meat, minimal tomato paste, spices (e.g., cayenne), heavy cream (for keto béchamel), egg yolk, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially ensure no flour is used for the béchamel or any breading for frying. Confirm heavy cream is used instead of milk, and the filling is savory.
Watch out for
Traditional flour-based béchamel, breadcrumbs for frying, high-carb fillers, or excessive tomato paste.
