Keto Arroz Carreteiro
Arroz Carreteiro is also known as Wagoners’ Rice. The dish originated during the time travelers would carry all of their food and goods. They would combine whatever they had left, like rice, with leftover pieces of beef, garlic, and onion. The beef was usually grilled/barbequed or dried. So you will sometimes see this recipe calls for beef jerky. You can use either beef jerky or leftover beef. To make this a Keto version, we substituted the cauliflower rice for the white rice traditionally seen in this dish. We prefer the cauliflower rice version, which gives the dish a nice texture! The final dish is topped with fresh parsley for a pretty presentation. If you are unfamiliar with Brazilian cooking, you will love this introductory dish to Brazilian Keto Recipes!
How to Make It
Step 1
Chop the white onion into a fine dice. Mince the garlic well. Then, preheat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add in the avocado oil and swirl the pan. Add in the onions and garlic. Stir them until they are lightly browned.
Step 2
Next, add the cauliflower rice. We like frozen cauliflower rice as it is simple to use and has already been prepared. However, feel free to use fresh cauliflower rice that you have riced yourself in a food processor or by hand. Stir well until the cauliflower starts to heatthrough. Add in the leftover beef of your choice. Keep stirring the mixture.
Step 3
Allow it to cook for a while without stirring to allow some browning. Do this several times to develop some flavor. Sprinkle on the red pepper flakes (if desired). Plate up the rice and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 4
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet over medium heat. Enjoy!
