Keto Chunky Chorizo and Tomato Sauce

This Keto sauce recipe is rich in fats, flavor, and low carb veggies - perfect for stirring through low carb pastas or over cauliflower rice. Our low carb sauce has been prepared with tender red onion and garlic, smoky Spanish chorizo, juicy red bell pepper, aromatic rosemary, chopped tomatoes, and chicken stock. Once prepared, the sauce is simply simmered until flavorful and reduced.

Can I Blend the Sauce?

We have left our Keto sauce chunky with diced tomatoes, finely chopped vegetables, and chorizo pieces. Keeping this texture means that the sauce is perfect served directly over Keto noodle or rice dishes. If preferred, you may blend the sauce in a free-standing blender or with a handheld stick blender until smooth.

Can I Use Other Vegetables?

This quick and easy Keto sauce recipe is simple to prepare and incredibly versatile. We have added diced bell pepper to our sauce to complement the chorizo, however you can add in or sub with alternative low carb veggies if preferred. Chopped fresh tomatoes, celery and diced mushrooms would all make great Keto-friendly sauce additions. Be sure to adjust your macros accordingly to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
