Stay away from tea! Hubby had horrible gout; as in 4 months on crutches gout and repeat bouts several times a year, even using prescription medication. We eliminated everything the doctors said to do away with and started adding things back in gradually. Tea caused a flare up every time. He has been fine without medication for over 10 years now.
Different things do cause flare ups for different people, but he eats red meat several times a week without a problem. He would probably eat steak every day if I didnt balk about eating the same thing all the time.
I had the lasagna. I don’t eat turds.
Hope this helps... Original recipe calls for the grilled tofu to be served on a salad, which is how I had it at a very good restaurant here.
CUBAN GRILLED TOFU
1. Cut 1 package tofu into four equal lengthwise slices.
2. put dry spices in frying pan and cook for a minute or two to bring
out the flavor. Then add oil—I used coconut oil but olive oil ok.
Stir for a minute to blend in the spices.
Latin Spice Blend:
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 teaspoons thyme
2 teaspoons oregano
1 tablespoon ground dry chile of your choice, such as chipotle, ancho or cayenne
-Some soy sauce after spices are blended (I use Bragg liquid aminos)
Then put tofu slices in warm pan just long enough to coat both sides.
Put tofu slices and extra spice blend in plastic bag and refrigerate
for at least 4 hours. Or days. After that, it’s fine to keep in
freezer for up to four months. Tofu gets chewier after it’s frozen. some say it’s better that way.
AS for Tempeh, I just cut 1” squares and cook in soup. I love Progresso canned soups, especially chicken in broth with wild rice. Rice and beans (Tempeh) together give you complete protein. If it still tastes too nothing-ish to you, add a little sauce of some kind...I like Trader Joe’s Sweet Chili Sauce.
Bon Apetit
