No tomatoes – now what?

What to do when you can’t eat tomatoes anymore! The whole no tomato thing is something I often hear people struggling with when they start out on a low histamine diet. Or for that matter something a lot of people profoundly miss. I know for sure it has been one of my bigger struggles, throughout these past few years. But the struggle has definitely also inspired me to come up with a bunch of alternatives for the more traditional tomato rich dishes like pastas and pizzas 😀 So in this post I have collected 8 of my Tomato Free Low Histamine Recipes for you guys.

Tomato Free Low Histamine Recipes - The Histamine Friendly Kitchen (1)

While I’m currently fine with tomatoes now and then (especially the yellow cherry tomatoes), I still mainly cook without tomatoes. And since the whole tomato free thing is a real struggle for a lot of people I wanted to collect all of the recipes, with alternatives for the more traditional tomato rich dishes, which I have published so far 😀 I hope you’ll find some much needed tomato free inspiration \o/.

Carrot Ketchup

This recipe for carrot ketchup is a great alternative to ketchup. And great for when you really want to be able to dip your sweet potato fries in something 😉

Nomato Sauce and Tomato free pasta dishes

Have you heard about nomato sauce??? I for sure hadn’t before I started on my histamine friendly adventure! And I’m telling you nomato saucehas been a total game changer 😀

It took me a while to perfect my histamine friendly version of the nomato sauce, but once a nailed it Pasta night was totally saved 😀 And after that my nomato sauce has been a stable resident in my freezer, for quick pasta dishes, pizza sauce and lasagna. Yes Lasagna!!! My family absolutely loved it when I was testing my Low Histamine Lasagna recipe with nomato sauce…. my oldest son even gave it a thumbs up and called it perfect! What more could a mother wish for ???

For pasta I also really like pesto and bell pepper sauce 😀 I also sometimes just fry up some veggies in a pan, add some pesto and bam you have a great pasta sauce 🙂

Tomato Free Low Histamine Pizza Recipes

My husband is really stuck on the idea of a pizza being a base with tomato sauce and a looooot of cheese. But with histamine intolerance this isn’t a great combo at all! So it is time to expand the idea of pizza, it can be so much more than tomato sauce and cheese. Just check out these three low histamine pizzas:

Lauren Reynolds from Fork Broccoli is totally rocking the low histamine recipes, and this Nomato Sauce with Lamb Meatballs is definitely no exception 😀

Most people dealing with histamine intolerance becomes familiar with Yasmina Ykelenstam from “Healing Histamine”pretty quick. While most of her recipes are in her books, you can also find some recipes on her blog, and this pasta dish just looks and sounds divine 😀

  1. Tomato Free Low Histamine Recipes - The Histamine Friendly Kitchen (12)Pam T says

    I am new to the histamine diet, but due to other intolerances and allergies, my diet is super restricted already. I really miss tomatoes now. But I can’t have any bell peppers, root vegetables except small quantities of white potato, any squash or melon, gluten, legumes, nuts, seafood, pork, oregano, and many other things. How do you replace tomato if you can’t have carrot or bell pepper or sweet potato or squash? There is literally no source of “orange” or “red” in my diet right now. I am working soon with nutritionists, but every recipe for histamine intolerance relies on other things I don’t eat. I can eat a gf crust for pizza, with nothing on it- no cheese, no red sauce, no pesto, no cured meats ,etc. I am half Italian. I just want to eat some gf pasta with sauce or a gf pizza again. Do you have any ideas?

      Hi Pam,

      I can understand why you are frustrated. And as an Italian how the loss of tomato must feel overwhelming. It is great that you are starting to work with a nutritionist. Make sure he/she comes up with a few recipe ideas for you which includes some of the foods you can have. Not knowing your full list of your allowed foods it can of course be difficult for me to come up with ideas. But here is one for pizza and pasta. Make a pesto kind of sauce from basil, cooked broccoli, spring onion, oil and salt. Use this as pasta sauce and pizza sauce. Top of the pizza with more cooked broccoli, fried red onions if you tolerate onions and raw quail eggs/ chicken eggs. Ultimate green pizza.

      It might sound annoying/impossible at first….. but once you have mourned the loss of the foods you can’t have. You can start to see the possibilities in the foods you have left.

      I really hope the nutritionist will help you get there, so that you can start your healing journey and maybe in the future enjoy tomatoes again.

    This is a great recipe! I’ve made it twice. Stored the surplus in the freezer, great for a quick meal without using tomato. I saved the recipe on my computer. Thanks!
