Hígado a la Vasca (Keto Modificado)
Basque-Style Liver with Peppers and Onions
Yes, with a tweak: confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Uruguayan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Pan-fried beef liver prepared in a rich, savory Basque-inspired sauce. The sauce typically features sautéed onions, red bell peppers, garlic, and a touch of white wine, reduced to a flavorful consistency. This keto version ensures no flour or sugar is added to the sauce and is served without traditional carb-heavy sides.
Key ingredients
Beef liver, red bell peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, white wine (dry), salt, black pepper, parsley.
How to make it keto
Confirm no flour is used to thicken the sauce. Request no rice, potatoes, or bread as accompaniments. Ask for a simple green salad with olive oil and vinegar, or grilled zucchini/asparagus if available, as a side.
Watch out for
Flour or hidden sugar in the sauce, high-carb side dishes, wine reduction (minimal carbs usually if dry).
