Ed is on a combination heart and Renal diet. Hospital food is awful so I want to make him stuff..The heart portioni is lowfat/low sodium... The renal part means limited dairy and limited potassium ..No tomato based sauces.. No whole gain bread, processed meats,no tomatoes(red) But he needs things high in protein.
He can't have much in the way of beans milk eggs etc, but a little is OK... Potatoes are OK if they are soaked for at least 2 hours to get rid of the potassium... SO..Does anyone have any ideas?. I cook a lot of mexican food so I'm going to make him shredded beef tacos with limited amounts of cheese..Italian beef is another good one for him.. I'm going to make him carne Asada with a mango salsa since he can't have any red tomatoes. Pasta is OK but it needs to come without tomato or cream/milk based sauces
Does anyone else have any ideas?
 
I make a pasta dish with chicken broth, sundried tomatoes, broccoli and turkey sausage. You could omit the sundried tomatoes or and sub chicken for the sausage and peppers for the tomatoes.

Basically I boil a pot of bow ties - meanwhile in a deep pan I brown the sausages, remove from the pan and slice - in the empty pan I will "deglaze" with a tiny bit of chicken broth - add in one clove of crushed garlic - cook in broth for a little bit - then add the rest of the can and about 1/2 of a 2nd can. Bring to a boil - then I add the sundried tomatoes and broccoli to steam, add sausages back in, season (usually a tiny bit of salt, cayenne, some garlic powder) - then I'll thicken it a bit and toss with the pasta.

You could do any meat/veggie combo with a flavored broth and it will come out nice. Since he'll need low sodium - you'll have to balance that with lots of flavor -strong vegetables, garlic etc.
