  • Gluten Free Fish Sandwich

    Delicious Gluten Free Fish Sandwich with Grilled Halloumi and a Spicy Garlic Aioli! Ever miss having a good fried fish sandwich? Well...you don't have to anymore! This delicious and easy to make is full of flavor and packs a punch! It is better than any of those processed "fish sandwiches" at any drive through food chain. I can promise you that! Just follow the instructions in this recipe and in no time you will be enjoying a new favorite! This gluten free fish sandwich is full of surprises! The first one is the addition of Halloumi cheese, a semi-hard rubbery brined cheese from Cyprus and Greece. Halloumi is made out of sheep's, cow's or goat's milk and has a very deep flavor profile and the perfect texture for grilling, pan searing, or frying. In Latin American countries it is known as "Queso Frito" or "fried cheese", and it is served for dinner. If you have never tried Halloumi, you are missing out! The second surprising addition to this sandwich is a spicy garlic aioli that adds an extra level of flavor and a satisfying kick. It truly brings the whole thing together! Now...where can you find Halloumi? You can find it at specialty stores, like Whole Foods, or any establishment that has a diverse selection of international cheeses. It is also available online. Halloumi normally comes in already cut fillets. For the Schär gluten free sandwich rolls, just visit your local Walmart's gluten free section or order them from Walmart online. So...what do you think? Are you ready to try this wonderful fish sandwich? Let's make it!

Prep Time: less than 10 minutes Cooking time: about 30 minutes Serves: 4 to 6 people Gluten/Soy Free Since being diagnosed with celiac disease, one of the things I missed the most was a good ol' southern fried chicken. Living in the southern part of the United States makes it difficult at times to find those delicious fried foods the region is known for. So... I made it a goal to find the perfect recipe for a delicious, golden, and crispy gluten free fried chicken. I tried many different batters, spices, cooking styles and methods and I finally came up with a very simple recipe that packs a lot of flavor and crunch. Not only this recipe is very simple but also...are you ready for this? It actually retains its crispiness for days! Even when you reheat the chicken in the microwave! The secret? not only is the chicken fried but it is also baked to ensure that crispy perfection! I am sure this will become a favorite at the dinner table! What is the flavor profile? Crunchy, herbal tones, and a bit of a quick! What ingredients will I need to make this? A whole chicken, gluten free flour, corn starch, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, tarragon leaves, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. What else will I need to make this? A large cast iron pot or similar, a baking tray, parchment or aluminum paper, a thermometer for frying, 3 large bowls, a cutting board, a knife, measuring cups and spoons, kitchen tongs, and an oven. Can I make any substitutions? Yes. You can use boneless chicken breasts or store bought butchered chicken. Do I have to fry and then bake the chicken? Trust me on this: you do. It will help it be crispy and delicious! What kind of gluten free flour do I need? I use Pillsbury Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend and it works fine for me, You can use whatever is available to you. Any tips? I normally top my fried chicken with honey. It adds a new layer of flavor and makes each bite more delicious! INGREDIENTS A whole chicken 2 cups of Pillsbury Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend 1 tablespoon of Corn Starch 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon of paprika 1 tablespoon of black pepper 2 tablespoons of salt 1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 tablespoon of onion powder 1 teaspoon of ground cumin 1 teaspoon of Tarragon leaves 2 cup of cultured low-fat buttermilk 6 to 8 cups to vegetable oil Method Step 1: Prepare the Batter In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Incorporate well. Set aside. Set the oven to 450º F. Step 2: Prep the Chicken You could have your butcher cut the chicken for you or do it yourself. You want two breast pieces, to leg quarters, and two wings. Do not remove the skin. See Figure 1 below. Step 3: Prepare the Dredging Stations Divide the flour mix into two batches. Place each batch on its own deep dish. Pour the buttermilk into a third deep dish. Set as follows: first station is flour mix, second station is the buttermilk, and third station is the rest of the flour mix. Set them in order one next to the other. See “Figure 1” for a visual aid. Step 4: Frying the Chicken Heat 6 to 8 cups of vegetable oil, over medium high heat, in a cast iron pot or a deep frying pot. The oil temperature should be at least 375) F before cooking the chicken. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using one hand, place the chicken in the flour mix (1st station). Make sure both sides of the chicken are coated with the flour. See Figure 2. Using the same hand dip the chicken in the buttermilk (2nd Station). Coat both sides. See Figure 3. Then, with the same hand, place the chicken in the other batch of flour mix (3rd Station). Coat both side. See Figure 4. Using the same hand, gently lower the chicken into the oil. See Figure 5. You can place two pieces of chicken at a time. Do not overcrowd the pot. Cook the breasts and legs for 5 to 6 minutes, carefully turning the chicken halfway through. Cook the wings for 3 minutes. Remove and place on the baking tray lined with the parchment paper. Repeat until you utilize all chicken. Step 5: Baking the Chicken Once all the chicken has been fried, place in the oven.

Fresh Rosemary Wood or metal skewers Method Step 1: Prepare the marinade In a large non-reactive container mix the pineapple juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary. Whisk until incorporated.

Step 3: Prepare the Skewers Once the steak has marinated for at least 30 minutes, remove from marinade. Reserve some of the marinade for basting during the grilling process. Wash the vegetables and cut to desired size. Make sure they have some thickness to them so they will hold their shape during cooking. Start the skewers by inserting a piece of vegetable. Follow with a piece of steak and some rosemary. Repeat the process. Cap with a vegetable. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the skewers. Step 4: Grilling the Steak Skewers Preheat your grill as instructed by the manufacture. Grease the grill to ensure the skewers will not stick to it. Grill skewers for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the type of grill you are using (gas, electric, or charcoal). Baste with the reserved marinade. Turn every 2 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

  • Gluten Free Potato Gnocchi

    An easy to make and complete step-by-step recipe for potato garlic gnocchi with herbs! Delicious easy-to-make and 100% gluten free potato gnocchi with garlic, thyme, and parsley. They pack a lot of flavor! Making gnocchi is actually pretty easy process. It just requires patience. Every Italian nonna has mastered the art of making gnocchi. And now, you can too! With this lockdown it has become hard at times to find some of my favorite gluten free pasta and treats. Some of the stuff I found was "questionable" when it came to the ingredients. So, I decided to start making my own in that way I can control the entire process and know exactly what what goes into it. Practice makes perfect. If they don't turn out pretty, don't worry! You will find your own style with practice. And, if you don't have a gnocchi roller, just use the back of a fork like I did! You can make some and eat them right away or prep them, refrigerate or freeze, and eat later! I have added plenty of visual instructions and a video to help you through the process. Printable PDF recipe as well! Let's make it! Prep time: About an hour Cooking time: less than 4 minutes Makes up to 100 gnocchi Serves: 4 to 6 people INGREDIENTS 4 large russet potatoes 1 1/4 cups of Pillsbury Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend 3 eggs at room temperature 2 cloves of garlic (peeled and minced) 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme 1/2 tablespoon of fresh parsley 1 teaspoon of Sea Salt Olive oil Fra Diavolo Sauce (optional) or any pasta sauce you wish to use METHOD Step 1: Prep the Potatoes Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with cold water. Make sure the water line is at least 2 or 3 inches above the potatoes. (See Figure 1) Place pot over medium heat and allow the potatoes to cook for 30 minutes or until you can pierce them all the way through with a knife. Remove from heat and drain the water. Add cool water and allow the potatoes to cool down for at least 10 minutes. When potatoes are cool to the touch, gently peel them ( Figure 2), put them though a potato ricer, grater or the grater tool on your food processor. Set Aside. Step 2: Make the Gnocchi Dough Mince the garlic, thyme and parsley. Mix eggs and salt. Add the garlic, thyme, and parsley. Whisk until incorporated. Flour a flat non-porous surface with the gluten free flower. Place the potatoes on floured flat surface, make an indentation in the middle (Figure 3) and add the egg mixture (Figure 4). Work it all together with either you hands, a fork, or a bench scrapper. At this point, the potatoes and eggs mixture will create a very sticky dough. Add 1/4 cup of the gluten free flour (Figure 5) and slowly work the dough into a ball. Add 1 tablespoon of gluten free flour at a time until it the dough is not longer sticky (Figure 6). Trust me, it is going to get messy but it is fun! Once the dough ball is formed, divide it into four sections (Figure 7), and turn each section into a ball. Cover three of the dough balls with a moist towel and keep one to work with (Figure 8). Using extra flour if needed, roll the ball into a cylinder (figure 9) and then into a long thin roll (Figure 10) Cut the thin roll into small small pieces (figure 11). Using the back of a fork, while applying medium force, roll each individual pieces one at a time (figures 12, 13 and video). Do not worry if the gnocchi is not perfect. We are home cooks not professional chefs. You will improve you gnocchi rolling technique as you get more practice. If you have a gnocchi roller, use it instead of a fork. Once you have rolled the gnocchi, set aside. Repeat the process with the other three balls of dough. Once all the dough is utilized, you can either cook the gnocchi right away or store it in ziploc bags and refrigerate or freeze. Step 3: Cooking the Gnocchi Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt to the water ( about 1 1/2 tablespoon) Cook gnocchi in batches. Add 10 at one time. Gnocchi will be ready when it floats to the surface. Set aside. In a large non-stick frying pan, over medium heat, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add the gnocchi (Figure 14). Gently sauté for a minute and then add the Fra Diavolo sauce or the sauce of your choice (Figure 15). Serve and enjoy!!!
