Now that I'm testing histamine, I'm remembering some ground meat recipes I used to love. This one will not taste like a restaurant appetizer, since we don't have all of the prepared umami-filled sauces. But the crunch is there, and it has a satisfying amount of protein.
Be aware that the water chestnuts have salicylates, so if you haven't cleared that chemical yet on your Good Days testing journey, or if you know you are sensitive to it, consider subbing in bamboo shoots. Just be sure you are checking that your can doesn't have anything added either way.
Additionally, you can grind your meat at home if you are not testing histamines yet or are sensitive to them. We've used the food processor here since we don't even currently have access to our full kitchen arsenal.
