Black Bean Burgers
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
Meat Balls
This recipe started life on deliciousliving.com, where it jumped out from amongst the quinoa salad. It took me longer than it should to realise I could use pork or beef, (or a mixture of the two), and still be lowish histamine if I used frozen meat that was not quite thawed, although you do get…
Burgers
It didn’t take long to make the jump fom low histamine meat balls to low histamine burgers, they are baiscally the same thing. You should not have grease dripping down your chin and your burger should not fall apart in a soggy bun. The bun is there to convey the burger from plate to mouth,…
