I used these wonderful round summer squashes that I found at my farmer’s market for this recipe, but regular long zucchini will work just as well. 3 cups cooked basmati rice (I used white, but you could also use brown) 6 zucchini or summer squash 3 small carrots, diced 4 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon oregano 1/2 [...]

Homemade Italian Sausage with Fresh Basil
Posted in allergy recipes, gluten free (GF/CF), Italian, low histamine, main meals, weight watchers core plan, yeast free on September 6, 2007 | 3 Comments »
You won’t miss the fat in this lean, low-histamine version of Italian sausage bursting with the falvor of fresh basil. We made a mess of this sausage last weekend while batch cooking with friends, and a lot of it didn’t make it to the freezer because of all the nibbling. 2 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast 3 [...]
Balsamico Roast Chicken and Potatoes

This recipe is slightly modified from The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. It made a splendid main dish for Christmas dinner and a family reunion a few years ago. The best part is that, whiile it looks impressive, it is actually quite simple to make, and the long baking time means that you can [...]
Fried Zucchini Pinwheels

These are a great party starter or appetizer to serve with drinks. They look and taste much more complicated than they are to make. Kids love shaking the bag to coat the zukes, and might even be tempted to eat some vegetables. This is my vegan and allergen-free version of Lidia Matticchio Bastianich’s fried succhini recipe. Canola oil [...]
Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Polenta Pie
Posted in gluten free (GF/CF), holiday, Italian, low histamine, main meals, vegan, yeast free on June 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is a perfect autumn dish, with its rich golden-orange color and sweet sage-y taste. It could be a fabulous side dish at a Thanksgiving feast, or a stand-alone entrée for a lighter meal, served with garlicky greens or a crisp salad. 1 medium onion, sliced into thin half-moons 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, [...]
Incan Polenta

The quinoa in this dish increases the available protein in the polenta and adds extra fiber and iron. Quinoa does not have an assertive flavor, so it does not change the flavor of the polenta, though it does provide a little variation in the texture. ½ cup quinoa 1 cup polenta corn meal 6 cups [...]
Orzo with Peas and Lemon-Herb Sauce

This is my streamlined version of Susan Geiskopf-Hadler and Mindy Toomay’s recipe. You can whip (or blend, or food-process) up this springy green sauce in the time it takes the pasta water to boil. The orzo pairs nicely with lemony chicken breasts – I like to cut them into strips and fan them out across [...]
