Hígado a la Inglesa
English Style Liver with Bacon and Onions
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly ask for no mashed potatoes or peas. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Thin slices of beef or veal liver, pan-fried, often accompanied by crispy bacon and sautéed onions. While traditionally served with mashed potatoes or peas, it is easily made keto by omitting these starchy sides and focusing on the protein and flavorful bacon and onions.
Key ingredients
Beef or veal liver, bacon, onions, butter or olive oil, salt, black pepper, served with a side of sautéed spinach or a small green salad.
How to make it keto
Explicitly ask for no mashed potatoes or peas. Request a side of sautéed greens (like spinach or Swiss chard) or a simple green salad instead.
Watch out for
High-carb traditional side dishes. Ensure no flour is used to dust the liver before frying (though less common in this style).
