Join the discussionThis worked out great. I used half the sugar and dried spices to get it to my family’s taste. It made pretty pink chicken parm that my husband who is allergic to tomatoes loved!
So glad you all enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing!
What does 1 cook Beet and 3 cook beet Golden mean
I get that they are beets, but cook and golden
Hi Maria, We’re referring to the specific variety of beets- Golden Beets. So the recipe calls for 1 cooked beet (the typical red kind), 3 cooked, golden beets. Hope that clears it up!
Vinegar is very high in histamine. It gives me angioedema and hives any time I use it. It shouldn’t be in a low histamine recipe.
Thanks for reaching out. Have you tried switching to apple cider vinegar which would have the lowest histamine levels?
Did you know that a lot of your recipes contain high histamine ingredients?? The vinegar here is high, as well as strawberries listed on another page.
I finally found a nomato sauce that doesn’t contain carrots. For a truly low histamine nomato sauce I’ll be leaving out the onions (used to be a family favorite), the sugar, pepper, and vinegar (red wine, white and Apple cider vinegar are all no no’s for me). I hope it still tastes alright without all those finicky medium to high level histamine foods. Thanks for a great starter recipe. It’s tough because there isn’t a consistent histamine intolerance list so I find that I just have to go on what work for me. I use a pretty strict 14 page list I found from the low histamine chef’s interview with Dr. Janice Joneja. It had to be downloaded. I tried creating a link for it but I’m not tech savvy.
Thank you for your feedback. An audit of this recipe has been scheduled. We’d love to hear how your version turns out!
I can’t tolerate any type of vinegar, even apple cider. Do you think it would work to substitute the apple cider with olive oil and absorbic acid? I’ve heard absorbic acid works well as a vinegar substitute. I may try it and let you know!
Yes, try it and let us know Blair!
