Brine & Rub recipe's for a Diabetics & High Blood pressure

I didn't see a brine recipie there.

I don't think brining is not necessary for juicy turkey, salmon or anything else. Drop the salt and find other things that chemically achieve the same resultant. Such as lemon/orange zest, vinegar or kelp. We all know a brine is not a brine without salt. So forget curing , but there are recipes for jerky that don't use salt, it just won't keep as long. Chemically brine kills bacteria, so any substitution should be researched before treating a curing agent.

Master Recipe For Poultry Marinade

none

1/2 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or thyme
1/4 cup lemon juice
black pepper, freshly ground

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan. Add garlic and rosemary and let cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain oil through a sieve. Add lemon juice and pepper and stir to mix. Makes enough marinade for 1 chicken, butterflied or cut into parts. Marinate 3-4 hours. This is similar to the beef marinade but uses lemon juice instead of balsamic vinegar. Chicken is more delicate, so I use less garlic and rosemary. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Smokin' Up A King Salmon

none

***MARINADE***
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup Bernstein's or Newman's Italian sal; dressing find a no salt, no sugar recipe to replace this
20 pounds king salmon

First, cut the fish lengthwise into 2 halves for curing purposes. Leave the skin on. Find a dish that's long enough to lay the halves in flat. Once that is done, you can pour the marinade over the fish. Cure the fish in this marinade for about 2 hours in the refrigerator. Put it into your smoker with a mild wood (I used cherry wood and alder) for about 5 hours. The temperature in the cooking chamber doesn't need to be as hot as for a brisket or butt, maybe 180-200F. Take it out, let it cool, refrigerate and eat it the next day with crackers, cheese, and wine. Posted to the BBQ List on July 5, 1998 by Mark Qualman - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Okay let's consider vinegar as a replacement for salt in a brine. And just don't use any sugar.

I doing a new brine recipe right now with drumsticks (chicken) and two breast halves (turkey). If it's any good I'll post the results after the smoke.

Kathy-
Try lemons! Lemon or lemon zest adds a kick to things. Makes a great salad dressing and base for a good BBQ sauce or marinate without salt.

Why not use potassium chloride instead of salt and splenda in place of sugar.
Then use any recipe you want.

Thats a picture of the real Tony Soprano. He was my cousin

Slenda doesn't always work and I don't know about using potassium chloride. Don't you need a prescription for htat? I know it reacts to some prescriptions and is easy to overdose on but that's about it.

WAS??????!!!!!!.......so they DID kill him off........after they went blank at the end of the last episode........i KNEW IT


lololol

I don't think Splenda would work out too good. Somethings aren't meant for Splenda, and I think meat is one of them. As far as other chemicals go I would think Potassium Nitrate or Salt Petre as a replacement for Sodium Chloride. Potassium Nitrate is carefully regulated and may be hard to acquire. But, I believe it is a viable substitute for Sodium Chloride.

Presently, I am not using this substance in my brine, I choose instead to go with foods high in this naturally occuring chemical to achieve the same resultant as the pure chemical form.

I believe people who have these conditions may need to avoid brined meat altogether, and go with low sodium marinades.

I like a vinegar marinated turkey or chicken. Ethnic groups here in Mobile, Alabama have a history of some of the best BBQ, and it starts by soaking the chicken in pure apple cider vinegar overnight, and slow smoking or BBQ'g the next day. I have eaten some of the best BBQ that was cooked this way, and that's the way to go. Vinegar doesn't necessarily impart that much undesirable flavor, IMHO. Marinading time is the key here.

Potassium chloride is sold in grocery stores under the name of NO SALT

I never used splenda for anything but enjoy potassium chloride on many foods.



PS ITS POTASSIUM CHLORIDE NOT NITRATE


(((((( NOW I QUOTE A PREVIOUS POSTER))))))

"As far as other chemicals go I would think Potassium Nitrate or Salt Petre as a replacement for Sodium Chloride. Potassium Nitrate is carefully regulated and may be hard to acquire. But, I believe it is a viable substitute for Sodium Chloride.
"

Potassium nitrate is NEVER a viable substute for salt and manufacturers directions must be strictly adhered to

I just wrote this as a disclaimer

you can use the potassium chloride and put it through electrolysis and create a explosive.

Salt too for that matter.

The things we eat!

Deb
I have never tried splenda for anything and wonder if anyone has ever tried it a rub or brine??????



I tasted it for the first time in a pie someone made for thanksgiving.

I enjoyed the pie but I now think that splenda does not have the viscosity ((if that word applies here))) To give the texture to the bark or skin that sugar items do.

For regular table salt, Kosher Salt and any other form of sodium chloride, I have already suggested using Kelp.

I suggest most of you with high blood pressure problems read this article. My father has high blood pressure and for me to share my creations with him I must use no salt in my smokes.
