This was my first shot at a low sodium recipe. If all low salt recipes taste like this, I'll have no problem sticking to a low sodium diet. This is packed with flavor. I added some chopped cilantro at the end of the cooking time for another bit of flavor. The only change I'll make next time is to cut down on the amount of brown sugar to 1 tablespoon. Otherwise, this was perfect.

Maybe I feel this way because this was the first recipe I made on my low sodium journey, but this was absolutely amazing! Didn’t miss the salt at all. I used chipotle pepper instead of chili powder (ran out) and it was smoky and sweet. It was just a tad too sweet for me, but I’m about to make a double batch and I’ll just cut the sugar in half. Thank you so much for this recipe!

I am in the Air Force. I'm married and have 2 kids. I am in to Harleys and cooking. The main reaso n I'm here is because I have a kidney problem that restricts me to a low sodium diet. Since I love to cook I thought I would share some recipes.
