It might seem easy to live with an allergy to peanuts than with an allergy to gluten or dairy products. You think you just need to avoid peanuts? Think again! Peanut oil is now popularly used in a wide variety of recipes and products. From bread to soup, sweets and even in some processed sliced meats. Here are a few tips, to ensure that you eat healthy and stay safe.
When you know exactly what’s in your dish, it means you can eat it without worrying. When it comes to recipes such as pastries and cake, you can easily substitute peanut oil for vegetable oil, while olive oil can be used in your savory recipes such as this savory rice recipe as long as there’s no deep frying included. For healthier versions, use 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil before cooking in a low fat fryer like Actifry or Fry Delight. At lunchtime, prepare homemade sandwiches and wholesome salads. And why not invest in a bread machine? That way, you can be absolutely certain that the flour you’re using doesn’t put your health at risk.
Dairy products such as labneh and cheese are a risk-free way to enhance your meals and take them to a whole new level. Invite your friends over for a raclette gathering and enjoy dipping slices of beef or chicken or even steamed vegetables like carrots in melted cheese. If you prefer sweet to savory, make your own butter or yogurt and try out different chocolate cake recipes with your kids. Don’t forget that you can experiment with all the different smoothies that are delicious and harmless!
