Because black beans are basically the only low histamine burger there is, not as good as Bombay burgers, but then very few burgers are. Start with 2 400g tins of black beans, drained and rinsed, there is not much additional moisture added to these burgers (no soy sauce, no ketchup, no vinegar) so there is…More
Herby Garlic Butter Pasta
I found this recipe almost fully formed on Inside the rustic kitchen, and then set about de-histamining it. Start by blending the basil, parley, mint, sage, thyme and spring onion to a paste with the oil and vinegar. Melt about 30g of butter in a pan on a very low heat and add 4 cloves…More
Low Histamine Sweet and Sour Pork
This is another in my ‘the price of low histamine is umami’ recipes, but this isn’t far off the gelatinous sweet and sour sauce of a thousand Chinese takeaways in the early 2000’s. This version started life with a google for a basic recipe which found Liv Wan at the thespruceeats.com and then I ripped…More
Not Totally Authentic Low Histamine Jerk Chicken
This recipe started life as a not that inauthentic recipe by John Torode but by the time I had taken out the lime juice, the soy and the scotch bonnets what was left was not really jerk chicken, but is certainly evocative of it, serve with hot sauce for the non histamine intolerant amongst us.…More
Sweet Fried Potato
I found the original recipe on the Histamine Friendly Kitchen, but the frying and mixing was too much like hard work and I ended up having to cook in such small batches that the first ones had gone cold before I finished. So I switched to mashing the potato first. Start by peeing a roughly…More
Low Histamine Pesto
Pesto is basically amix of histamine, pine nuts (high hisatmine), romano or parmesan cheese (high histamine), lemon zest (high histamine). So the secret to low histamine pesto is to use none of those. Replace the pine nuts with almonds (lowish histamine) , the lemon with cider vinegar (lowish histamine) and the parmesan with cream cheese…More
No Tomato Red Pepper Pasta
Most recipes for red pepper pasta sauce are basically tomato and red pepprt sauce, which isn’t much help if you are trying to avoid tomatoes and all the histamien within. So keep it simple and use more red pepper and no tomato. Start by cutting the peppers in half and discarding the seeds and stalks…More
Vegetable Oil
If it says ‘Vegerab;le Oil’ on the label it is probably rapeseed oil (check the label), if it says ‘Rapeseed Oil’ on the bottle it is definitely rapeseed oil but costs three times as much. Sainsbury’s Vegetable Oil 1L Actually Rapeseed Oil £1.09 per litre (as at 20 July 2021) Sainsbury’s Rapeseed Oil 1L Also…More
Onions
A significant numbe of people make a real mess of chopping onions. Im pretty sure its somthing I learned watching Ready Steady Cook in about 1995. Cut the top off the onion cut the onion in half lengthways (through the root). peel the obion, leaving the root intact Slice the onion lenthways BUT do not…More
Garlic
I use lots of garlic, its low histamine and is a reliable way to get some depth into the flavour of low histamine foods. For most dishes I use smashed garlic, squash an unpeeled clove of garlic with the side of a kitchen knife, the skin will split and can be picked off the squashed…More
