After some experimentation with rice I have discovered that sticky rice would cause heartburn, while the non sticky variety would not. Rice by itself gets pretty boring after a while, this recipe adds some flavor to this dish. I normally cook this in a rice cooker, which makes this all more simple, however cooking this is a pot should also work.
Ingredients:
2 cups of parboiled rice
1 box of whole or cut white champignons
1 large bell pepper
200-300g of raw pealed small shrimp or other kind of sea food - without shrimp the recipe also works add more champignons or peppers in this case
1 table spoon of olive oil or 30 ml of unsalted butter
1/2 tea spoon of ground turmeric
1 tea spoon of salt
Cut whole champignons into vertical slices
Cut bell pepper into small square pieces
Wash the rice
Combine all ingredients together, add sufficient amount of water. Generally you should add enough water to cook the rice. Follow the directions on the rice or rice cooker, usually 2 cups of rice would require 4 cups of water.
Bring to a boil then reduce to minimum - rice cooker does this for you
Cook until rice is soft and the water is gone - rice cooker does this for you
Experiment with olive oil/butter and salt until you get the taste right.

Veal and carrot cutlets
Always loved cutlets. The traditional way of making them includes onions, bread or flour and heavy ground meat, all things that would cause me to have heartburn. Here is an alternative I came up with.
Ingredients:
2 lb ground veal - less fatty than beef
4 large carrots - substitute for onions and bread
4 eggs
2 large spoons of non gluten flour
ginger - remove if ginger causes heartburn for you
olive oil
a bit of salt
Finely chop carrots and ginger - I use electric chopper
Mix well all ingredients. You should be able to form small flattened balls from the meat without it falling apart. If the meat does not stick add more eggs or flour.
Put some olive oil on the pan and preheat. Form fist sized flattened balls from the meet and place them in one layer on the pan, allowing enough space between them to be able to turn.
Fry until fully cooked, make sure the meat does not fry too much from the outside, as this may cause heartburn.

First post
Have been thinking about starting this kind of blog for a while. The purpose of this blog is to have a record of the recipes I have discovered or "invented". If other people with the same problems benefit from these posts it would make blogging more worthwhile.
