What is your recommendation as a replacement for the oil in these recipes? My husband can’t have added oils in his food until January. He has pancreatitis which is quite serious. Two major stays in the hospital so I believe him when he says he’s not feeling well.
I was thinking aquafaba but I’m curious if you or your readers might have some ideas.
Hi Joann, I’m sorry to hear your husband has a health issue! You can simply omit any oils from any of these recipes. There really isn’t a taste that is worth jeopardizing health for. That said, I often make hummus with no added oil or even tahini at all and it’s delicious. You may need to reserve some bean water (aquafaba) to add for ease of blending. You could also just add more lemon or lime juice juice for that purpose as well. Please check out more of the recipes here as I try to give an oil-free option on most. Wishing you and hubby all the best! XO Lisa
