Hígado a la Diabla (Keto Modificado)
Spicy Pan-Seared Liver (Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no sugar is added to the tomato sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thin slices of beef liver pan-seared to perfection and coated in a fiery, piquant sauce. This 'a la Diabla' style typically features chili, bell peppers, onions, and tomato, making it a flavorful and nutrient-dense keto option when modified.
Key ingredients
Beef liver, onions, garlic, red bell pepper, unsweetened crushed tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes), chili flakes or cayenne pepper, olive oil, white wine (optional), salt, black pepper, fresh parsley. Served with sautéed asparagus.
How to make it keto
Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato sauce. Ensure the liver is not dredged in flour before pan-searing. Request keto-friendly sides such as sautéed greens (spinach, chard) or cauliflower rice instead of mashed potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Sugary tomato sauces, flour dredging for liver, high-carb side dishes.
