Keto Molho a Campanha

Molho a Campanha is a delicious Brazilian Keto recipe that lends itself well to Low Carb diets without any modifications. If you are familiar with pico de gallo, it is similar in that it is made using chopped tomatoes and onions. It is different however, because it includes chopped red and green bell pepper, olive oil, and vinegar instead of lime juice. Traditionally it is topped with chopped parsley and cilantro, which brings out the fresh flavors from all the chopped vegetables. Keto Molho a Campanha can be used as a topping for grilled meats like steaks, fish, and roasted chicken. It can also be used as a topping for feijoada.

What is the best type of tomatoes to use for this condiment?

You can use any whole type of tomato, like a Roma or beefsteak. We used cherry tomatoes for ours to give the dish a slightly different texture, in which case we cut them in half. As always, try to use organic tomatoes and bell peppers where possible, as these tend to be some of the highest in pesticides.

What is the best knife to use to prepare the vegetables?

The best knife to use is a very sharp chef's knife. A sharp knife will allow you to make very small dice on all the vegetables.

Why vinegar instead of lime juice?

Vinegar works to quickly pickle the vegetables helping to preserve their color and texture. You will love the crisp as well as the crunchy texture of this side dish.

To make the ultimate pairing, top this grilled flank steak with molho à campanha instead of chimichurri. Find the recipe here: Keto Chimichurri Flank Steak. One of our favorite recipes!
