Histamine Friendly Nomato Sauce

July 20, 2017 by taniasurrow 27 Comments

The BEST Low Histamine NOmato sauce - Pin me ;)

I have been a fan of Nomato Sauce for a while now, my kids however not so much. But after having tested numerous of Nomato Sauce recipes, I have finally found a combo which i LOVE and the kids like too. Pasta night is saved you guys :D!!

Histamine Friendly Nomato Sauce

So even though I know that there are many nomato sauce recipes out there, I still want to share my version with you all. If you have a nomato sauce recipe, you love – please share in the comments section below πŸ™‚ Like I said I have tried many nomato sauce recipes, but I for sure haven’t tried them all. So I would love to hear from you which recipe is your favorite and of course if it beats mine πŸ˜‰

Histamine Friendly Nomato Sauce - Sooo good ;)

This Histamine Friendly Nomato Sauce recipe is really quite simple, but it does require some cooking time, so make sure you have time to let it simmer away until it is ready. Clean and chop up all of the vegetables. Heat up the (extra virgin) olive oil and add the celery and onion to the pot and cook, stirring a few times, until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic, and let it cook with the onion and celery for a bit – don’t let it brown.

Green herbs - a power house of anti inflammatory compounds

Add in the rest of the vegetables, the apples, the bone broth/bouillon, a bit of apple cider vinegar, salt, a handful of basil and a handful of mixed green herbs of your choice (I used a mix of herbs I have in the garden, rosemary, thyme, lemon thyme, oregano, sage, and a bit of lemon balm).

All the ingredients in the pot :D - ready to get cooked o/

Then all there is left to do is to let it simmer for ca. 30 minutes. When all of the veggies are soft, but the beets still have a little bite, then it is ready to get blended (the longer you cook it the less red/more orange it will become). Blend till you get the texture you prefer. I prefer to not blend it till it is completely smooth, but leave a bit of texture in there. Salt to taste and if you prefer, add a bit more apple cider vinegar. If you don’t tolerate apple cider vinegar, you can also leave it out completely, but in that case I would recommend you make sure to choose a sour apple for the sauce.

Histamine Friendly Nomato sauce - cooked and blended

Now all there is left is to enjoy this tomato and nightshade free Histamine Friendly Nomato Sauce. You can eat it plain like it is together with some pasta or spiralized vegetables. Or you can use it as a base for other pasta sauces, as a pizza sauce, or to make tomato free lasagna, just to mention a few options πŸ˜‰ What is your favorite way of eating nomato sauce? Please share in the comments below.

    I used this recipe as a base and made some slight modifications. Not a fan of celery so I left it out altogether, but substituted zucchini squash and added some purple cauliflower and broccoli (1/2 head of each). It came out rather sweet so I added some pickle juice (maybe 1/4 cup) and some nutritional yeast flakes for some earthy /smoky flavor and it also helped to bind the sauce which was an added bonus (maybe about 1/3 cup). I used thyme, rosemary and sage, all fresh, and dried oregano, garlic salt and somefresh ground black pepper (I can tolerate these things that I added even though some of them are higher on the histamine scale). Thank you for the suggestions!! I was really beginning to tire of pesto sauce for all my Italian cravings. This is such a great recipe to replace tomatoes in so many things! With different seasoning and cut coarser it could probably make a yummy salsa!

      Hi Keri,

      Thank you so much for sharing your modifications πŸ˜€ They sound like a great addition to the sauce. YUM. I’m planning on reintroducing nutritional yeast again soon. Really looking forward to it. πŸ˜‰

    Hi Tania, thanks for the beautiful histamin friendly recipes. I have tried a few of them and enjoyed them all. Your website is great!!! Just made this nomato sauce and enjoyed it together with a high proteΓ―n pasta. Also great quantity. This way I can store some portions in the freezer. Following the quantities you suggest I had some leftover vegetables. I followed your way of making dips … roasted the leftovers in the oven and put them in the blender with some water. At the same time my nomato sauce was finished, I also had a dip/veggie spread.

    Dear Tania,
    I have MCAS, and my diet has been limited and bland forever. Today, since I had some strength, I tried your nomato sauce recipe. I, truthfully, regretted it at the beginning because it’s so much prep, but I’m astounded by the end result. It’s the first tasty thing I’ve eaten in a long time. I don’t know how you figured this out, but you’re an alchemist! Thanks

    HI! I’m so confused… This recipe looks amazing, but how are any of you tolerating apple cider vinegar? When my intolerance flares up, any vinegar would give me itchy hives. I thought vinegar was a huge NO for HI.. Also wondering how others experience HI. One finger on my right hand gets covered in itchy blisters and I know within minutes of eating the wrong thing.

      Hi AJ,

      The symptoms of histamine intolerance are widely different for different people. And even though icthing is a common one – for me it is a rare one that only seems to get triggered when I eat a lot of seaweed (high iodine) and get really bad when msg gets involved too.

      As for the vinegar – not all vinegars are created equally. And while balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar and red wine vinegar are big no no’s – there are other types of vinegar which are lower in Histamine (eg apple cider vinegar). Check out the food list from Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance – they have a list of the different vinegars. However some people just react to all acidic things and if you are one of them – just leave out the vinegar from the recipe. If you do that try to use a fairly sour apple 🍏

      I hope this helps you a bit,
      Tania

      Yes you can freeze my nomato sauce. I always make big batches so I can freeze down handy sized portions of nomato sauce πŸ™‚

    This is delicious although I admit I cheated a bit and the only thing I chopped was the apple! I halved the amounts as there is only two of us and started with a frozen soffritto mix (onions/celery/carrots), frozen beetroot, butternut squash, courgette (zucchini) – I put all the ingredients straight in to a pot and simmered for half an hour. Blitz the lot once it is cooked – used half and froze half for next! Thoroughly recommend this!

    Wow! I’ve been on a low histamine diet for a week and a half, and was really missing my favourite food, tomatoes. I made this on the weekend and it made me so happy! Thank you for posting this nutritious and delicious recipe, and the smell while it was simmering in the pot was mouth watering. The next day, I used it as a base for my experimental bbq sauce, and that turned out yummy too! (Nomato sauce, fresh ginger, apple sauce, brown sugar and coconut aminos… so sweet, caramelised and tangy).

    This was delicious and even tasted more like a mild tomato sauce than I expected. Everyone who watched me make it was impressed at the turnout. Smelled great cooking. Perfect for freezing. I left out the vinegar as I’m unsure if I can tolerate it. Didnt seem to lose out of flavor.
    Thank you so much.

      Hi Michael,

      It keeps for 3 days. However I would not recommend keeping it in the fridge for that long if you have Histamine issues.

    I can’t thank you enough Tania for this recipe! My daughter in law is allergic to tomatoes and therefore can’t eat traditional lasagne. The sauce looks like the real thing and tastes great. Can’t wait to see what she thinks.

    I can’t thank you enough Tania for this recipe! My daughter in law is allergic to tomatoes and therefore can’t eat traditional lasagne. I am vegan so I used vegetable stock instead of the bone broth. The sauce looks like the real thing and tastes great. Can’t wait to see what she thinks.
