I had started to write about the flavorless and bad tasting GF food I had found, it wasn't very entertaining. So I thought I would share some recipies that are not only GF, but are delicious!
This recipe has always been a hit, but Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup contain wheat, and I had to figure out a way to still have the great taste. Sour cream adds just that little something to the flavor!
Rice Balls with Mushroom Sauce
1 lbs of hamburger
1 can of GF Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 a box of GF Creamy Portobello Mushroom Soup
1 cup of GF sour cream
1 tbs corn starch
1 egg
1 medium onion grated
2 tbs brown sugar
1 - 1 1/2 Worcestershire sauce
1/2 - 1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 cup of instant rice
Grate onion into a large bowl, add brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, egg, paprika, salt and pepper and beat together with a fork. Add hamburger and gently mix ingredients together (do not over work the mixture, the meat will be tough and dry if mixed too much). When all liquid is worked in add rice and gently combine.
Roll the meat mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place in a large sauce pan heated to medium high heat, and brown all sides of the meatballs.
Pour both soups, corn starch and sour cream into a large bowl, mix until smooth and pour over the meatballs, reduce heat to medium to medium-low and simmer until the rice is tender. Serve over cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
(This meatball receipe works great with a sweet & sour sauce too!)
I always loved meatloaf, but not being able to always find GF unseasoned bread crumbs, I found that mashed potatoes add great texture and flavor!
Meatloaf (even the kids will eat it!)
1 lbs of hamburger
1 egg
1 medium onion grated
2 tbs brown sugar
1 - 1 1/2 GF Worcestershire sauce
1/2 - 1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 cup mashed potatoes (or ½ cup GF unseasoned bread crumbs)
Piquet Sauce
1/3 c Brown Sugar
½ c GF catsup
1 tsp paprika
(For extra piquet sauce mix ingredients in a microwave save bowl, cook on medium heat till sauce has a glossy appearance, stirring often)
Pre-heat oven to 350ยบ, grate onion into a large bowl, add brown sugar, egg, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt and pepper and beat together with a fork. Add hamburger and gently mix ingredients together (do not over work the mixture, the meat will be tough and dry when mixed too much). When all liquid is worked into the meat, add potatoes or bread crumbs and gently combine. Pat meat mixture into loaf pan, and poke the surface with a fork.
Mix Piquet Sauce ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour Piquet Sauce on top of the meat mixture. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, till done. Piquet Sauce will be hot and will burn skin quickly, so let stand for about 5 minutes, remove from pan and place on serving plate to slice.
Much to my surprise, I found that these GF recipes still pleased the gluten eaters. Another food that I miss is Miracle Whip! I don't think I had ever tried to cook without it. But I think I have found a way to get close. Try this light and tasty GF pasta salad! If (like me) shrimp will put you in the hospital, omit it. It tastes wonderful without it.
Shrimp Salad
1 package of GF Shell Macaroni
1 small can of shrimp, well rinsed
2 large or 3 small Tomatoes, diced
2 cucumbers peeled and diced
2 bunches of green onions, chopped
1 cup GF Mayonnaise
1 cup GF Sour Cream
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp white wine vinegar
Cook shell macaroni to al dente, ( if overcooked the noodles will fall apart, will still taste good though), let cool. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream and milk, mix with a whisk until smooth. Add salt, pepper, paprika and vinegar (should be slightly salty, the noodles will absorb most of the salt.) Add remaining ingredients to the bowl; stir gently to avoid breaking of the noodles. Add more Salt and pepper as needed.
I am still learning to convert my all time favorite comfort foods to GF. I will put more recipes out when I have mastered some of my other favorites! Happy GF dinning!
