Is it possible to have a keto stew?

I would guess no since you need a starch eg a fair quantity of onions and carrots?

Is there anyway it can be accomplished?

There are literally keto stew recipes when you search keto stew on google.

From Delish.com:

When making keto stew:

  • choose low carb vegetables
  • replace potatoes with less starchy root vegetables
  • use onions and garlic judiciously
  • small amounts of colorful vegetables add visual appeal
  • add the vegetables at the last 40-60 minutes of cook time

Also, you can add heavy cream to your stew as the thickening element.

Some ideas

1: It seems like garlic or onions are needed for a stew. But some south Indian curries substitute asafoetida for garlic / onions. Those curries are delicious. You could look for a curry using asafoetida.

2: I made a duck cassoulet that used unflavored gelatin as the thickener. That would be good keto.

3: When I tried keto, peppers did not make me break ketosis. You would not want to slow cook peppers with the meat but you could add them at the end.

4: Crucifers supposedly are low carb. Broccoli did not make me break keto so probably not cauliflower either. I would not cook those with the meat either. Rutabegas are crucifers but I have to think they have more carbs. They stand up to slow cooking. I did not try those during keto.

  1. No wine as cooking fluid. Just broth. A tablespoon of tomato paste probably would not be so much carb as to break the keto.
