little_muffin Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm just coming to the end of day 2 and so far so good but I really want to try an omelette with sundried tomatoes and cannot find compliant ones anywhere (UK) does anyone have any ideas? All the ones I've seen have an acidity regulator in them. Also, olives, they all have a ferrous oxide (colour preservative) in them. Can I eat these or should I hunt a bit more? Many thanks in advance Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wendy_house Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I am eating olives with ferrous oxide in them as couldn't find any without. I figure, seeing as it's not a sulphate, it must be ok, but don't take my word for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Obviously we'd prefer foods with no additives, but ferrous oxide isn't out for your 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa@SwissPaleo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You could try making your own dried tomatoes if you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. Here is a site that shows you how to do it in your oven or in a dehydrator if you have one. Looks really easy to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Asda sell Merchant Gourmet Slow Roasted Tomatoes, ready to eat. They're in a packet and contain only tomatoes. no other ingredients. M&S sell a jar of semi dried cherry tomatoes in extra virgin olive oil which contain cherry tomatoes, EVOO, garlic, sea salt, basil, oregano and citric acid (which is ok). Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_muffin Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks Kirsteen, I went along to Marks earlier and found some of the sundried tomatoes. You seem to be the UK oracle so... where can i get compliant fish sauce and stock cubes from? It is unbelievable how many things have sugar in them! I have just done a Waitrose order and got loads of stuff but can't get these which I need for some meals I've got in mind. Many thanks Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Jenni, I found these to be the only compliant stock cube out there, you should be able to get them in health food shops. Also I found recently in Tesco Knorr fresh puches and the beef one was compliant,and much cheaper than the M&S ones - their fresh pouches are ok asfair, but €4 a pop! For fish sauce, try the Asian supermarkets and check all the diff brands, someone I knwo in Dublin found some that way...I sourced some from a supplier to restaraunts because they would add palm sugar in when cooking so it's not included in trade quality fish sauce. I started a uk/ireland thread in the sourcing good food too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fish sauce Derval can tell you, this was the bane of my life. I still haven't found compliant fish sauce anywhere here . As Derval said that particular type of Marigold seem to be the only compliant stock cubes but I've never bought any as I've more or less stopped using stock cubes and just use bone broth. I also found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Organic-Vegetable-Bouillon-Large-180g/dp/B004L4SXF0/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1357239399&sr=8-3-fkmr1 at Amazon which looks ok but isn't cheap with postage. However Steenberg's own site http://www.steenbergs.co.uk/ gives free delivery on orders over £19.99 so would be worth it if you're getting several things. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
