I tagged this for cooking for a parent with congestive heart failure, for whom sodium must be kept to a minimum. The recipe came from Don Gazzaniga's The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook . I broke into gales of laughter at Whole Foods when I read the label for a commercial low sodium soy sauce: 400 mg sodium! Rather than give up on soy sauce completely, I would use this recipe, as I have had good luck with other recipes by Gazzaniga. Suggested brands of molasses and onion powder are low in salt. Mastercook says 29 mg sodium in entire recipe! Ingredients:
3/4 cup vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, sliced |
3 tablespoons dark molasses, preferably br'er rabbit |
3 teaspoons onion powder, preferably spice islands |
Directions:
1. MAKE GARLIC VINEGAR NIGHT BEFORE.
2. Heat vinegar slightly.
3. Pour over peeled and sliced garlic cloves to taste.
4. Let stand overnight, strain and discard garlic.
5. MIX INGREDIENTS.
6. In a glass jar, combine 3/4 cup garlic vinegar with molasses and onion powder.
7. Refrigerate and use as needed.
8. Warm and shake well before using.
9. Lasts about 1 month refrigerated.
