Spicy Grits: New Recipes at DrGourmet.com!

Spicy Grits

Bowl of Chipotle PeppersI love grits and I love spicy food. This is a great combination, especially with the corn, which adds a great sweet and savory flavor.

This recipe is gluten-free, low in sodium (salt) and safe for those on Coumadin (warfarin). Those with GERD / Acid Reflux should avoid it, while those who are lactose intolerant but can tolerate cheese may enjoy it.

Seared Grouper with Mediterranean Salsa | Coumadin Safe Version

TomatoesO.K., salsa is Mexican and likely originated with the Incas (remember that tomatoes were taken back to Europe from the New World). Even so, I came across a recipe for a tomato and olive salsa that I wasn’t all that impressed with and elaborated on that. After coming up with this I found that I wasn’t the first (no one ever really is).

This is great with almost any fish and is more of a Spring or Summer dish maybe, but there are times during the winter when I want these fresh, bright flavors. If you don’t have great, fresh summer tomatoes, choose grape or cherry tomatoes. They’ll give this a much brighter taste year ’round.

This recipe is low in sodium (salt), lactose-free and gluten-free. Those with GERD / Acid Reflux should avoid it.

Mushroom Salad

MushroomsOne of the first restaurants I worked in served this mushroom salad. It was very elaborately prepared tableside by the waiters with the flourish of chopping, mixing and plating in front of the wide eyed customers. At the time I hated mushrooms, but back then fresh mushrooms were actually something of a novelty. One taste of this delicious salad and my life was changed forever.

This recipe is safe for Coumadin users and those with GERD / Acid Reflux. It is low in sodium (salt) and gluten-free. Those who are lactose intolerant should avoid it.Spi
