Zucchini Wrapped Halibut with Mediterranean Sauce | Low Sodium Version
You can use almost any white fish with this recipe if halibut is not available. The more fatty fish will work a little better – cod, whiting, etc.. Fish like trout, drum or tilapia can be substituted but it’s a good idea to brush each with about a half teaspoon of olive oil to help keep the fish moist.
I love this technique and you could use yellow squash instead of the zucchini or even a combination of the two.
This recipe is safe for Coumadin (warfarin) users and is lactose and gluten free. Those with GERD / Acid Reflux should avoid it due to the shallots, capers and tomatoes.
Penne with Eggplant Pesto and Mushrooms | Penne with Eggplant Pesto and Prosciutto
Pestos are super versatile and this eggplant pesto goes great with so many combinations. You can use almost whatever you have in the kitchen as leftovers – veggies, a little ham, some grated parmesan – almost anything will make a great meal in a flash.
These recipes are safe for Coumadin (warfarin) users but contain multiple GERD / Acid Reflux triggers. They are low in sodium and safe for those who are gluten sensitive provided they use gluten-free ingredients. They contain cheese, so those who are lactose intolerant but can tolerate cheese may safely enjoy them.
You can use this Eggplant Pesto in place of any other pesto, but it’s more subtle so you’ll need more. Where about two or so tablespoons of a Basil Pesto would be enough in a pasta dish, this works great as a sauce and you can use about a half cup or so.
This is just as versatile as any other pesto. You can use it in pasta, as a spread on sandwiches or bruschetta. It also works great in making hors d’oeuvres and other appetizers. A dollop in a creamy soup like Cream of Cauliflower or Butternut Squash soup would be perfect.
This recipe is low in sodium (salt) and is safe for Coumadin (warfarin) users and those who are sensitive to gluten. It contains cheese, so those who are lactose intolerant but can tolerate cheese may safely enjoy it. Those with GERD / Acid Reflux should avoid it due to the garlic.
Eat well, eat healthy, enjoy life!
