Elimination diet: recipes for specific ingredients and nothing else!

Friend with arthritis and other autoimmune issues just posted on FB that she’s been put onto an elimination diet. Eventually many currently-forbidden items may be re-introduced but for now, she is allowed to have the following:

Chicken
Eggs
Quinoa
Beans
Legumes
Vegetables
Potatoes (separated to specify are ok)
Yams
All fruit
Olive oil
Oatmeal
Brown rice

Specifically NOT allowed are:

Dairy
Wheat & all gluten sources
Pork, lamb, beef
Pickled items
Soy (a known allergen for her, not part of the new elimination diet but still highly relevant)
Added salts and sugars (high blood pressure issues as well)

Please help me crowdsource some easy recipes for her? She’s not much of a cook so fairly straightforward and basic dishes will be appreciated.

Interesting. When I was on an elimination diet (over 30 years ago), chicken and eggs were forbidden; pork, lamb, and beef were allowed. (A good thing too, as I was sensitive to chicken and egg white.) Your friend should check the status of onions and similar foods - again, these were initially excluded for me.

You can roast potatoes with olive oil. Add rosemary if it’s allowed.

Cut potatoes into large chunks. Boil in water for 10 mins. Toss in olive oil. Roast in a high heat oven until done.

A simple salad is diced avocado, diced tomato, and diced cucumber. Add olive oil and lemon juice to taste.

Chicken and pineapple stew should be good and hearty. Sear chicken chunks in the frying pan. Stew with pineapple pieces and strips of bell peppers. Use potato to thicken the sauce. Serve with rice.

Start by making a strong stock with the chicken so she has a flavorful liquid to cook with. Quinoa, potatoes, beans, rice or beans and rice can be cooked with some chicken broth for flavor.

Unsweetened, unsalted oatmeal can be made more palatable with some fresh fruit, or fruit sliced and cooked with a little water until it makes a soft compote. Were I not restricted, I add a bit of sugar, but it’s still something different and tasty without it.

Potatoes and onions can be pan fried or oven roasted with a lot of different vegetables. She can use olive oil, or chicken fat skimmed off when she made the stock. Or don’t even wait: Right now I’ve got onions, carrots, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower (why, yes, we did have a leftover veggie dip tray!) roasting on a cookie sheet underneath a roasting spatchcocked turkey. The turkey is just laying on my oven rack, and the veggies on the rack below, so they’re getting delicious roast turkey fat and juices roasted in. Just as easy to do with a chicken.

Mix some chicken broth with oven roasted vegetables for a great soup, with or without rice, quinoa, chicken, diced hard boiled egg, etc. Lots of room for playing with different combinations.

Peel a sweet tater and slice into french fries, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Mix 1 cup brown rice flower, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and about 10 oz of cold sparkling water, you can spice the batter up with cracked pepper, garlic, cayenne, etc if you like. Heat a couple inches vegetable oil to 350, dip sweet tater slices in batter, fry 'em up! This tempura is great with other vegetables and perfect for shrimp and mild white fish.
Lot’s of people with AI problems are exploring gluten free diets, Facebook itself is probably a good place to look for meal ideas.
