I recently discovered that Daiya took their recipes off their website. This is one that I had saved from them because my mom really likes it, so I thought I'd share. I've included my tried and tested adjustments here, but the original recipe is available via the Wayback Machine.

Ingredients:
4 medium zucchini
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 clove garlic, minced
1 can black beans, drained
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds

This took me about 45min to make. If my kitchen had been less messy it'd have taken less time!

This recipe has endless variations (see notes at the end), and here's one version that has been turning out well. The nigella seed (an Ethiopian spice) and fish sauce (recommended by a Vietnamese friend) are optional if you don't have those around already.

Preheat oven to 400F, rack in middle of oven

Ingredients
1 package deboned chicken thighs, around 1-1.5 lbs.
1 medium cauliflower
2 large carrots
olive oil (amounts approximate, maybe 2 Tbsp)
Fish sauce

Spices:
Wild nigella seed (Tikur Azmud)
Ground ginger (or fresh dried if you have it)
Ground coriander
Ground mustard
White pepper
Salt

( Chop, season, roast )

I decided to get adventurous and try using my rice cooker like a slow cooker or instant pot. It turned out well! This is a red beans and rice recipe adapted to whatever I had at hand.

This is less a recipe than a cooking method for oven-baked fish, although I am including a recipe as well. I believe the oven times and temperatures come from (but probably aren't unique to) my former neighbors.

Ingredients:

1 lb to 1 1/2 lb steelhead trout or salmon fillet

1 to 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, depending on the size of the fillet
tsp lemon juice
2 tsp squeeze-bottle garlic, or 2-3 cloves chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp smoked paprika

I've never lived anywhere that had a gas cooktop so my attempts at wok stir fries have usually been woefully overcooked and just not quite right. But recently I discovered this very basic way to fake it. You can make it with meat, fish, or keep it vegetarian or vegan. I won't glorify this by calling it a recipe - it's more of a food hack, and I'm sure many people already do this.

this recipe has been on my mind for a few days because I'm hankering for autumn (it's unseasonably warm where I am) and this is one of my favourite autumn/winter stews. the recipe comes from a cookbook I've since lost, I have a vague memory of it being labelled as a 'Greek lamb stew'.

Easy, quick high protein meal. My microwave is 1600 watts; see notes below on adjust timing for your microwave’s power.

Tools

Covered glass dish
Fork

Ingredients

approximately 120g (1/4 lb) frozen fish fillet (I use tilapia)
15ml (1 Tbs) tart liquid: tamari or vinegar or lemon juice or white wine
15ml (1 Tbs) fat: sesame oil or olive oil or butter

While in Geneva I figured out that Jack Monroe's Peach and Chickpea curry, if made with mango, sort of approximates the sweet chicken and mango curry that was the first Indian dish I actually liked and which is really hard to find. Jack's recipe, while a good workhorse, is definitely on the bland anglo curry side of things. Having obtained a jar of long-life mango slices recently, and being in the midst of making a multi-curry bonanza, I spliced Jack's recipe together with Madhur Jaffrey's "Chickpeas in a simple northern style".

( What you need and what you do with it )

I served this tonight with a red lentil and tomato dahl, a stir-fry of zuchhini and broccoli in a mildly spicy yoghurt sauce, and a not-particularly-good batch of Becky Excell's gluten-free naan bread, but i've eaten variations on the Jack Monroe one as a main dish (in which case, I often chuck green string beans in to round out the one-pot meal).

There are loads of bread alternatives out there for people eating keto, but what about noodles? I'm talking about noodles for Asian cooking, or for spaghetti, beef stroganoff, whatever.

So this is about konjac (also called shiratake) noodles - noodles made from the naturally occurring konjac yam (also called Devil's Tongue and you can see why!)

It's getting colder here, and often very wet, so I've been in the mood for curries. These are two I've made for years, that go well together.

Serve them together - the flavours are a nice contrast.

Maybe not a traditional breakfast food, but frittatas are good any time!

This is a way to use up a bag of pre-cut coleslaw that you're worried is going to go off soon if it's not used - or if your coleslaw's super-fresh, it's just an easy way to make a frittata with no chopping.

It's tasty, and contains actual vegetables!

I guess it'd be a bit expensive with egg prices in the US. They've increased here too and there's a shortage sometimes, but that's as the government recently brought in new laws here, banning battery (cage) hens. They've all got to be barn raised or free-range and some older businesses have decided to close, instead.

This recipe has become one of my go-to comfort foods over the past year, so I thought I would share it here. It's ideal for anyone with low energy/not enough spoons to do intensive cooking.

Easy Pressure Cooker Italian Pasta (Gluten- and Dairy-Free)
(aka "Pasta Bake!!!")

- 1 lb dry Tinkyada* GF pasta (penne, bow ties, macaroni, etc)
- 1 24 oz jar of favourite pasta sauce -OR- plain tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 32 oz box of chicken or beef bone broth
- 1 lb ground turkey, beef, or chicken (can be frozen)
- 1 8 oz package of Italian sausage, sliced
- 1/2 cup parmesan, asiago, romano, or Field Roast Chao* DF cheese, shredded
- minced garlic to taste (6 cloves rec'd)
- several tbsp total (not each) of dried basil, oregano, marjoram, sage, garlic -OR- premixed Italian seasoning
- 1 8 oz package sliced fresh mushrooms (any variety)
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped red bell pepper
- 1 tsp salt

Chop onion, garlic, pepper, and sausage.
Place all ingredients but the turkey in pressure cooker pot, making sure it's not more than 2/3 full (remember, pasta expands!). Mix well. Add liquid last to avoid sticking and burning.
Top with the ground meat. You can crumble it beforehand or not.
Set your pressure cooker to high and cook for 20 minutes with frozen meat, 15 with refrigerated meat.
Let the pressure release naturally for 20 min, then quick-release.
Break up the cooked meat into bite-sized pieces if need be. Top with extra cheese if desired.

Enjoy!

Serves 6-8

I found a couple of mentions of this on the internet and tried it, but I have to say, with limited success.

The basic principle is simple: instead of flour-based pasta for the wrapper, you use a thin slice of cheese to make the dumpling wrapper.

( Read more... )

As mentioned, I had some technical difficulties with this recipe. It was hard to get the timing just right and it was fiddly trying to get the wrappers to stick and seal. You can put them back in the oven briefly to help with this, though.

On the plus side, they were delicious, as the cheese wrapper is tastier than a bland pasta one. But overall, I think they're probably a little too fiddly for me to bother with often, although making them probably gets easier with practice.

This is a lower carb take on lasagne, but of course you can just use normal GF lasagne sheets and make a higher carb version. Note that it's lower carb, not low calorie!

This is only slightly in the slow cooking category as the onions take an hour, but the injera bread takes two days to ferment, so...

These were mostly taken from a tumblr post about soups, then I followed all the links and these were the ones that worked and weren't behind a paywall. Haven't tried any yet but they look yummy - peanut gallery comments are mine. (Also, a reminder about how useful the Paprika app - for pc or mobile - is to save recipes like these.)

Soups for autumn!

I just got an air fryer (well, Boyfriend did and I want to play with it) but I don't really know what works best with it and would like some ideas. It's a smaller model, so things like whole chickens or pizzas are right out :)

What are your favorite recipes? are there any tips and tricks to GF cooking in one?

Thanks!

This is my current go-to quickie meal. (serves 1)

Components:

Good quality crumbed frozen fish fillets - locally we have some nice hoki fillets covered in 'wholemeal' crumbs which are GF.
Either: half a bag of prepackaged coleslaw, or
Assorted veggies cut up to bake in the oven. I usually go with carrots, cauli, broccoli, red capsicum, onion, several garlic cloves.

Directions:
Either bake the crumbed fish alone according to package instructions (mine is a piece the size of my hand, baked for 15 min per side) or surrounded by the veggies. Spray the veggies with cooking oil (I use an olive oil spray) and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. For both fish and veggies 30 min is about the right amount of baking.

If having with coleslaw, toss that in a large bowl with dressing of your choice. I alternate between mayo and peanut sauce. Can add extras to the coleslaw if desired, like grated cheese or chopped tomatoes.

Serve, with dressing of choice for the fish, or just salt, pepper and lemon juice. I often make a hot Marie Rose dressing i.e. mayo, keto tomato sauce and a squirt of sriracha sauce.

Fast and delicious, and moderately keto although the crumbed coating isn't. But I can't get good frozen fish locally for baking that isn't crumbed.

I consider this recipe quick because if you use pre-cut or shaved sprouts, the dish can be prepped in the time it takes the oven to preheat. It's a one-dish meal, and you can add a starch alongside or not. I believe I originally got it from a Central Market recipe handout. Paleo-compliant as written.
