I decarbed this quite a bit – I omitted the white sugar, used xanthan gum instead of flour for thickening, and replaced the ketchup with a tablespoon of tomato paste. I made the butter beans optional (put a few in my husband’s bowl but not mine), and I did not serve rice at all. Also, this easily makes 6 servings, not 4, as the article claims. (Wow … I have a big appetite, but I cannot even imagine eating a quarter of this recipe plus beans plus rice. I am stuffed right now.)
When I ran it through NutritionData with these adjustments, I got 13 net carbs. But I’m not sure that we need to count all the carbs in the brown sugar, because, well, you burn the stuff. (If you’re mystified by this, you didn’t read the recipe.) Burning converts the sugar back to carbon and water, so surely the carb count is somewhat lower. I’m gonna guess that reduces the carb count per serving to maybe 9 net carbs, but that’s just a guess.
