What is your favorite new GF recipe?

[isto]

Now that you are GF, what is your favorite new thing to make that you never made before you were GF? Have you discovered any new cooking styles?

We are doing more stir fry than before. Everyone in the family likes it and it's good. It does take time to chop up the veggies, but we have dinner and usually at least lunch for one or two people from one batch. The veggies we use are green pepper, peapods, brocolli, bean sprouts, waterchesnuts, and what ever is around. (I am not GF yet, waiting on test results)

GF Kung Pao Chicken
Marinade:
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp GF soysauce
2 tsp sherry
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 egg white

3 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes
Vegetables of your choice (waterchestnuts, red or green bell peppers, zuchinni, carrots, broccoli, onions etc.) cut into 1 inch size pieces
dry roasted peanuts (optional)
Oil

Sauce:
5 TBSP GF soy sauce
3 TBSP sherry
2 tsp sesame oil (I use toasted variety)
1 tsp sugar
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP cornstarch
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spicy, add more if you like it hot!)
Directions:
1. Cook rice of your choice, if desired. (that way it'll be done when stir fry is ready)
2. Mix marinade, and toss chicken cubes to coat. Let sit while preparing veggies
3. cut veggies
4. mix sauce, set aside
5. Cook chicken in oil over high heat, stirring often. ( I use a wok, but a big fry pan with high sides will do)
6. remove chicken, set aside
7. Add more oil to pan, if needed and stir fry veggies (start with ones that require the longest to cook - ie the carrots, broccoli, end with the quicker cooking ones - ie the peppers, mushrooms, zuchini)
8. Return chicken to pan
9. Stir sauce, then add to pan and stir constantly to coat everything
10. Toss in handful of peanuts, if desired, mix.

Serve immediately over rice, or lower heat to simmer until ready to serve.


I don't know what site I got this from, I have been collecting recipes as much as possible and starting a file in my computer. After the first few days, I started to save the link along with the recipe so I could tell where it came from.

My favorite new recipe is Lavosh from the book 125 best gluten free recipes http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0778800652/ref=wl_it_dp/104-2392515-8340711?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I30I797ITZ86XK&v=glance&colid=2BKQNDHWDJI2F.
Highly recommend this book, by the way. Everything I've made from it is great.

Lavosh is an Armenian flatbread that is crispy and delicious. I have to fight off the gluten eaters in the house to be able to get any! I quit crying over "lack of gluten filled crackers" when I made it.

Hahaha. Sorry. I have come to the conclusion that I am a horrible celiac. I still do not have a gluten free recipe .. shame on me.

My co-worker, the nutritionist of our store .. made a gluten free cake. I was in Heaven. I'll have to get the recipe from her and share it with you all.

Take care!

Now that I have your attention hehehehehe

This is not new, but one of my favs. It may already be out here - I don't remember.

Mr. Al's Beer Chili - ummmm, sans the beer for now - until I get some GF beer.

1 lb hamburger
1 medium onion - diced
1 half of yellow or orange or red bell pepper - diced (I prefer these over green)
1/2 stalk of celery - diced
2 can of Joan of Arc Kidney Beans - drained
1 can Old El Paso Refried beans
1 can diced tomatoes or fresh if you have them
1/3 of a jar of Newman's Mild Salsa
A few dashes of chili powder
A splash of A1
Maybe a splash of V8 or tomato juice (or beer - non GF in the old days ) if it's too thick.

While browning hamburger - add a splash of A1, peppers, onions, celery. After hamburger is browned - drain or soak up any grease. A paper towel works well for that.

Throw in the kidney beans. Give it stir. Add the refried beans. This will make it quite thick. Add the can of tomatoes & salsa. Add a dash of chili powder. Give it another stir. Heck as long as your stirin' you better taste it to see if it needs anything.

I tend to like my chili thick. So I add some tomato juice or a little can of V8. I will let this reduce until it's the consistency I want.

So that'd make this...a Hamburger Helper Helper...right?

2 Boxes of (you might get by with 1 box - I like leftovers) Lundberg Organic Risotto . We mixed a Milano flavor (the blue box) and a Tuscan flavor (the red box).

Note: This mixes have dairy in them - this was before I went casein reduced. I believe the Tuscan flavor is one of the few that do not have dairy.

Pour the risotto & seasonings packets in to bowl
Add water. For these 2 it required 5 cups of water. Each flavor of risotto is a little different.
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil
Mix well

Cover and throw into microwave for 15/20 min (depending on microwave. Can be made on the stovetop too)
Uncover & stir
Fire up the microwave again for 15/20 min - leave bowl uncovered.

While the risotto is cooking - brown 1lb of hamburger. Drain off any excess grease. Salt & pepper to taste.

When risotto is done. Mix in browned hamburger.

It's quick, it's easy, it's tasty Plus these boxes are pretty cheap - $2.39 ea on sale. You can get them by the case from Lundburg - but with shipping it's about 2.39 ea anyway.

Oh another dish you can make...Sautee some shrimp with diced onions, a little garlic...then add this to the risotto...yummmmmmmm

Lundberg Info on CD

We have only a few products in our entire line of 75+ products that are not gluten free, or may have ingredients that could be a problem for the very sensitive:

* Organic Multigrain Rice Cakes (discontinued)
* Exotic Wild n Mushroom Quick Brown Pilaf (discontinued)
* Italian Herb Risotto

Our other products, to the best of our knowledge based upon the most current research, are gluten-free and safe for those sensitive to the gliadin protein found in gluten.
