Notes
- Variation: For a spicier kick, consider using spicy chorizo instead of regular chorizo. It will add an extra level of heat and complexity to the stew.
- Adjusting Spice Level: If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of paprika or omit it altogether. Taste and adjust the seasonings according to your personal preference.
- Serving Suggestions: This flavorful stew pairs well with a side of cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables to keep it low in carbohydrates. You can also enjoy it with a slice of crusty keto bread for dipping into the savory broth.
- Personalize Ingredients: Feel free to customize the stew by adding other keto-friendly vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. These additions will enhance both the flavor and nutritional value of the dish. (Let us know in the comments how you got on)
- Garnish Ideas: Before serving, garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for an added burst of freshness and flavor.
- Chicken Stock Options: Choose a chicken or vegetable stock that is low in sodium to control the overall saltiness of the stew. Alternatively, you can use homemade stock for a more flavorful and natural taste.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the stew in freezer-safe containers for up to 2-3 months. Thaw and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Meal Prep: This stew is perfect for meal prepping as it reheats well. Make a larger batch and divide it into individual portions for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners throughout the week.
