gluten-free dairy-free colcannon croquettes

 

These are as easy as pie...I mean croquettes! 

You'll need: 

• Leftover colcannon (Irish-style mashed potatoes that include leeks and cabbage)
• Rice flour
• Beaten eggs
• Garlic powder
• Salt and peppper
• Oil
• Corn flour if you have it (or even gluten-free panko)

Do this: 

In a big bowl, mix the colcannon, rice flour, eggs, garlic powder, and salt and pepper together and shape into patties. Then dredge in corn flour and fry in oil. 

jerk chicken

 

This is one of those where you just eyeball everything.

And it is so so so tasty. We all love it.

• chicken pieces (I use breasts)
• jerk chicken spice (about 2 teaspoons for 4 breasts)
• neutral-flavored oil
• Worcestershire sauce
• ketchup
• apple cider vinegar
• salt and pepper
• thyme
• fresh garlic
• soy sauce 

Mix the sauce ingredients together, put the chicken in doubled Ziploc bags, pour the sauce in, zip the bags, and mash it all together. With your fists, get your stress out and pound the chicken breasts, then fridge it for at least a few hours.

Bake at 220 C for about 25 minutes, until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 60 C. Sit it out on the counter, tent with foil for 10 minutes, then serve with rice and sauteed spinach. 

easy gluten-free vegan stirfry

 

One day I had some fried tofu (age dofu) that I needed to use up, and this dish was born. It's easy, it's fast, there's minimal chopping, and with the "everything bagel" seasoning, the onions and garlic are already included without any mincing or grating. 

Serve over rice, of course! 

You'll need:

• eringi mushrooms, chopped (or mushrooms of choice)
• fried tofu, chopped
• fresh or frozen spinach, chopped
• gluten-free soy sauce
• "everything bagel" seasoning, which includes dried onion and garlic, and toasted sesame seeds
• sesame oil
• 7 spice

Do this:

In a frying pan, saute your mushrooms, tofu, and spinach in sesame oil. Add soy sauce and "everything bagel" seasoning. 

Put a jar of 7 spice on the table for folks to put their desired amount. Or none at all. 

garlic bread, ham, and cheese savoury bread pudding

 

This is not something I could eat because of the wheat and dairy, but my 3 guys loved it.

Take leftover garlic bread and chop it.

In a big bowl beat 8 eggs and 2 cups of milk, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Butter a baking pan.

Throw in the chopped garlic bread.

Cover it with chopped ham and grated cheese.

Pour over the egg mixture and top with a little more grated cheese.

Bake at 180 C for 30 minutes.
