How to make it keto
Ensure no potatoes, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, beans, or corn are included. Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the stew. Request extra low-carb vegetables like spinach or cabbage instead of omitted high-carb items.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in canned tomatoes or tomato paste. Use of flour/starch as a thickener. Inclusion of traditional high-carb vegetables if not explicitly omitted.
