at least for me: paprika sage, basil, cumin, marjoram, pepper, curry powder mayonnaise hot sauce of several kinds cayenne powder ramen noodles - toss that awful seasoning garbanzo beans mustard - regular yellow, Poupon type, coarse ground wine variety of pasta many and varied condiments (luckily for me, salt is not a bother) balsamic vinegar rice vinegar ginger garlic - ez to grow onions olive oil - cold first press virgin canola oil rosemary probably think of more later how about you. With the above goodies I have the base for many meals of a great variety.
[size=10pt]Hey There, I am looking for some Low-So recepies for the up coming Hunnukka season. My congregation knows of my condition and if I can find tasty vittles I am sure they won't notice that they are Low-So. Help [/size]
Add to the essentials list: sesame oil (great for Asian flavors, veggie stir-fry, fried noodles, etc.) Lum Taylors BBQ sauce Enricos spaghetti sauce (great base to add ingredients, no sugar added, tastes like home made, and very low sodium) Pacific Island Soy Sauce (unbelievably low sodium, tastes so fresh, yum!)
a product called "Ghee" imported from Lebanon Several bags of mixed spices bought from Middle Eastern store basil mixed Greek spices feta cheese and deli olives (high in sodium though - use sparingly) mint red sweet onion fresh herbs parsley/cilantro rose water can of unspiced hummus tahini
I always have cans of no-salt added tomato products, low-so peanut butter, low-so refried beans, corn tortillas, and in the freezer a variety of fish, and chicken.
Paul, you would feel at home in my kitchen as long as you are able to forgo pasta and condiments. Adding to your list, I would include coriander, turmeric, mustard seeds, fennel seeds ... brown rice lentils, red and green varieties turtle beans bulgur stocks (vegetable and chicken, homemade whenever possible) seasonal vegetables Wobbles PS Spice, spice, and more spice.
