I get a pan very hot, (usually my wok) add some oil, slivers of garlic and shallot, chili flakes, toss in the spinach, flip it a few times, add some salty broth, flip again to thoroughly heat thru and serve, just wilted and really tasty
It sounds delicious and I wish I could eat spinach again but I have gout and spinach is definitely a no-no.
It's not just spinach you can't have when you have gout. No meat, no canned meats, no salami, pepperoni, no spinach and no salmon!!! I love salmon. You can have tuna and fruit is good for you but I'm also diabetic so I can't have too much fruit. Not too much turkey either but you can have all the chicken you want and of course tomatos and salads. There isn't that much info about recipes for people who get gout. I've only found maybe 2 cookbooks and they're not very good. It's only in the past 2 weels that I got my first episode of gout and the pain's gone but the swelling is still there.
very simply, thinly slice a clove or three of garlic, put a tbsp or so of evoo in a large saute pan over medium heat. put the garlic in the oil, let toast just for a minute, then dump in the bag of spinach. imeediately begin to turn with tongs to get the spinach coated with the garlic oil. it'll shrink down and become wilted within another minute.
if'n you want to get fancy, add a thinly sliced shallot at the same time you add the garlic.
e voila'. sauteed spinaci!
Culchie: I never heard of Nettle Drops? Where do you buy it, in a drug store? I know about bliberries etc but I'm also diabetic so I can't have too much fruit. I didn't know about sardines LOL. This is someone new with me as I only got my first attack about a month ago. My sister bought me a slew of vitamines e.g., grapeseed extract, Go-Out Plex which includes Black Cherry Concentrate and Celery Seed etc. The pain is gone but the selling is still there. How long did it take for the swelling to go down with you? The swelling isn't as bad as it was, but my ankles and calves etc are still swollen. I also have neuropathy becaus of diabetes so I don't know which is causing it harder and harder for me to walk even 3 blocks. Hope it's ok with you now and you don't get another attack.
