Substitute for Tomatoes

RE: Substitute for Tomatoes By ericoalex (1) Contact I made an onion sauce for a whole grain pizza I just made. chopped onion sauteed in olive oil then simmered w/ a little water and pizza seasonings, salt, little lemon juice for a little bit. A quick pulse or two in the blender. Eggplant has worked in the past, persimmon and I think zucchini might work, though I've never been big on zucchini.

Continental powdered sachets that go into casseroles etc also have no effect. I have often been tempted to try Tomatillos but need a free weekend incase it doesn't work as I'm also allergic to oranges,some bananas, fresh limes + paw paws. My newest addition is wheat + gluten, it's not much fun but there's plenty of food out there to choose from.

People on dialysis who cannot eat tomatoes can use these, so they should be OK for those with allergies. I am on a low phosphorus diet due to low kidney function, and found this advice on a site with recipes for dialysis patients.

Tomatoes are from the nightshade family and the nightshade family includes, potatoes (not yams or sweet potatoes), bell peppers, tomatoes and eggplant. I am unable to eat all of those things. I have found a recipe from a book called Sublime Soups by Lenore Baum. The recipe is as follows: UNTOMATO SAUCE 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil 2 jumbo onions, cut into large pieces 6 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half 2 pounds carrots, in large pieces 2 small beets, peeled and quartered 2 bay leaves 2 tsp dried basil 1 1/4 tsp dried oregano 1/8 tsp thyme 3 TBL barley miso, or more to taste 1/4 cup umeboshi paste 1. Heat oil in a large stock pot. Saute' the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir constantly for 1 minute. 2. Add the carrots, beets and bay leaves. Add water to 1 inch below the surface of the vegetables. In this case, less is more. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered for 45 minutes. 3. Add the basil, oregano and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes. 4. Remove the bay leaves. Remove and reserve most of the brothe. Remove about half of the beets and set aside. 5. Transfer the vegetables, miso and umbeboshi paste to a blender. Process, adding just enough broth to reach a tomato suce consistency. Add the beets, one at a time, to simulate the color of tomato sauce. I do not like beets so I leave them out. I do not care about the color so my sauce is orange. This is not a perfect substitution but I have been able to use my sloppy joe recipe and use this in place of the ketchup and alter the recipe slightly and it is good. I have used this on homemade pizza and even people that can eat tomatoes have liked the pizza made with this sauce. I freeze this sauce and it freezes well and thaws quickly. Another thing I do in making pizza, is once I have rolled out the pizza dough, I brush on a thin coating of olive oil and then sprinkle an Italian blend of herbs on the olive oil. It includes oregano, rosemary, basil, thyme and marjoram in the mix. I hope this helps somebody out there!

Roasted red bell peppers are a fair alternative for tomatoes. Naturally, growing your own tastes better.

Day 5 is beef and tomato day, any suggestions for substitution? Posted on 04/16/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Substitute for Tomatoes By Marta (Guest Post) Roasted Red Peppers make a really nice sauce for pasta. Or try olive oil and smashed garlic for a no cook sauce. You could even add some sautéed or grilled veggies. Also, butter and chopped parsley are nice on pasta. You could add some red pepper flakes if you like it hot. I like to use pesto sauce and ricotta on my pizza. Yum! Try using the Ingredient Search at Allrecipes.com.

My brother in law hates tomato sauce-he always orders his pizza with no sauce at all. It's not bad. And for Mexican you could find a guacamole you like. Good Luck!
