Low Carb Ajiaco[edit | edit source]

Ajiaco is a popular dish in Colombia, traditionally made with chicken, three varieties of potatoes, and the Galinsoga parviflora herb. This version of the recipe is modified to be keto-friendly, replacing the potatoes with low-carb alternatives.

  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
