Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 500 grams ground pork
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup sugar-free tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onions to the skillet, sautéing them until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground pork to the skillet. Cook and stir regularly until the pork is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a wooden spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, stirring for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, sugar-free tomato sauce, soy sauce, and the bay leaf. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Season the mixture with sea salt and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the sauce reduces slightly and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf, then sprinkle the chopped scallions and grated Parmesan cheese over the dish just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Pork Giniling warm and enjoy your flavorful, low-carb meal.
