Stewed Pork (Trinidadian Style)
Stewed Pork with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request minimal brown sugar for browning. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Trinidadian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Pork pieces stewed in the traditional Trinidadian 'burnt sugar' method, creating a rich, savory, and slightly sweet-savory flavor profile with tender meat. Typically served with rice or provisions, modified for keto with low-carb sides.
Key ingredients
Pork shoulder/belly, brown sugar (for browning, minimal residue), garlic, ginger, onion, pimento peppers, shado beni, thyme, ketchup (minimal for flavor/color), Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Request minimal brown sugar for browning. Strictly omit rice, provisions, or other high-carb accompaniments. Opt for a side of cooked okra, sautéed cabbage, or a garden salad.
Watch out for
Residual sugar from the browning process, added sugar in ketchup/Worcestershire, starchy vegetables like potatoes, carrots.
