Roast Vegetables, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

ROAST VEGETABLES

 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400-450F

Rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper

 

Choose the vegetables and wash, peel or don’t peel, but cut everything into the same size, usually about 1-inch pieces.

 

Spread evenly on the pan and do not overcrowd. Season everything with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Toss everything gently to coat evenly.

 

Get creative, for more flavors try adding garlic, curry powder, fresh/dried herbs, vinegars, citrus, sesame oil, bacon, taco seasoning, mustard, pesto, etc. Keep in mind things like honey and cheese need to be added closer to the end so that they don’t burn.

 

Don’t forget to toss halfway. The edges of the baking sheet cook hotter than the center, and the bottoms need to be flipped up to brown evenly.

 

How Long to Roast

Cook times are approximate, heavier vegetables take longer to cook. Simply choose what’s in the fridge. Roasting vegetables, like making soup, is a great way to utilize items that may be reaching the end of freshness.

 

Tomatoes – 15 minutes

Asparagus – 20 minutes

Bell Peppers – 20 minutes

Green Beans – 20 minutes

Yellow Squash – 20 minutes

Zucchini – 20 minutes

Broccoli – 25 minutes

Brussels Sprouts, halved – 25 minutes

Cabbage, 1-inch slices – 30 minutes

Beef Schaschlik, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals

Beef Schaschlik

Makes 10-12 skewers, Serves 4-6 people

INGREDIENTS

The Meat Skewers

10-12 Wooden Skewers, soaked in water

2 Lbs Beef Chuck, cut in 1” cubes

2 Large Onions, quartered and separated

Salt & Pepper, to taste

For The Sauce

4 Tbls Oil, for frying

2 Onions, and whatever is left from above, sliced

3 Red & Yellow Peppers, cut into 1" chunks

7-8 Bacon Slices, cut into ½" pieces

3 Cups Chicken Broth

3 Cups Beef Broth

1 Large Dill Pickle, thinly diced

¼ Cup Pickle Juice, from same jar

2 Tbls Dijon Mustard 

3 Tbls Paprika

1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper

2 Bay Leaves

1 Pinch of Ground Cloves

¾ Cup Ketchup

Salt and Pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Thread the beef on skewers, alternating beef and onions. Not more than 4 or 5 chunks of meat per skewer.  Brown the meat skewers in a large skillet with a little oil. As they brown sprinkle with a salt and pepper and move them to a crockpot or large stewpot.

When the skewers are done, use the same skillet to brown the bacon. Add the onions and peppers and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender and a little caramelized. Then add a bit of broth to deglaze the pan.

Add the remainder of the chicken and beef broth, chopped pickle, pickle juice, mustard, paprika, cayenne, bay leaves, cloves, ketchup, salt and pepper. Bring everything to a low simmer and transfer the sauce to the crockpot.  Press the meat skewers down into the sauce if necessary so that the meat is covered. Set the crockpot to low heat, and leave to simmer for about four hours with the lid on. Then cook uncovered for another hour to reduce and thicken the sauce. If using a stewpot simmer covered on low for about an hour or two then remove the cover for an additional hour.

Remove the skewers, and the bay leaves, and use an immersion blender, or food processor to blend the sauce smooth.  Throw the bay leaves. Once the sauce is smooth, return the skewers to the sauce and keep warm till serving.

Portuguese Codfish Cakes Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Appetizers

Portuguese Codfish Cakes 

(Pasteis de Bacalhau)

INGREDIENTS 

10 Ozs Salted Cod, deboned and soaked overnight

14 Ozs Russet Potatoes, unpeeled

1 Small Onion, very finely chopped

2 Tbls Parsley, finely chopped 

3 Large Eggs

Olive Oil, for frying

Soak the Cod

Salt Cod needs to be soaked overnight, at least 20-24 hours. Rinse the salt cod well under running water to remove any surface salt. Then place the cod in a large, covered, bowl or pot. Add enough cold water to cover with an extra inch or two. Cover tightly and set aside, changing the water every few hours. Let soak overnight, changing the water again in the morning every few hours. Take a nibble to test the salt level. If the cod seems too salty, change the water again and let it sit for a few more hours. You can always add more salt to the recipe later, but you can’t take any more salt away once the cod has been incorporated into your recipe. 

Prepare the Potatoes 

Boil the potatoes, preferably in their skins so the potatoes don't absorb water. When done, drain the water off and allow the potatoes to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes, break them up and place them in a large mixing bow to mash by hand or with an electric mixer. A stand mixer actually works best for this.

Prepare the Cod

Meantime, simmer the previous soaked cod in enough boiling water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the cod and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle discard the skin and with your fingers remove any bones and separate the fish into fine flakes. Be careful to remove all of the bones.

Making the Cakes

Mix the cod with the mashed potatoes and add the eggs, 1 by 1, and then the onion and parsley. Taste and, if desired, season with salt. You may not need to add any, as the cod itself retains quite a lot of saltiness, in spite of being soaked and boiled. The mixture should be quite stiff, enabling a spoon to stand up in it. If you find it excessively dry, add one or two tablespoons of milk. Allow this to cool completely before deep frying.

With two tablespoons, shape the fishcakes like large eggs and place them in the hot oil (370°F/190°C), turning them three or four times to get nicely browned all over. When cooked, lift them with a big fork or slotted spoon and place them on kitchen paper, to absorb excess fat. Go on molding and frying until you use up the mixture. These wonderful treats can be enjoyed warm, chilled, or room temperature.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully

Avocado Mayonnaise, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Condiments

ROASTED GARLIC & AVOCADO MAYONNAISE 

INGREDIENTS

1 Avocado, pitted & peeled

4 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Bulb of Roasted Garlic, recipe below

1 Lemon, zest & juice

Salt & Pepper, to taste
Honey, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Place everything in a food processor, or tall bowl if using a stick blender, and run at high speed until silky smooth.  If the mayo seems a bit thick, add another drizzle of olive oil or juice. Taste for seasoning and add more if desired. Store the mayo in a covered glass container in the fridge. If the mayo is too lemony for your taste, add a touch of honey to balance things out.

Oven Roasted Garlic

INGREDIENTS

2-3 Whole Heads of Garlic

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

Preheat toaster oven to 350°

Peel and discard the papery outer layers of the whole garlic bulb, leaving the skins on the individual cloves of garlic. Be careful not to break the cloves from the bulb. With a small sharp knife, cut just the tops of cloves off, exposing the individual cloves inside. If you miss some of the smaller cloves, or the lower ones on the outside edge, don’t worry, they’ll still roast up fine. 

Place the bulbs, cut side up, into individual ramekins. If you’re going to do multiple bulbs a muffin pan works well. Drizzle the olive oil over the bulbs, making certain to get each exposed clove. Place in the hot oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cloves are lightly browned and feel soft when pressed.

Allow the garlic to cool and remove the individual cloves from the bulb. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins or use a small knife to cut the skin slightly. Place the cloves in a covered, glass container and pour any remaining oil over them.  Enjoy the garlic warm, can be used as an ingredient in a favorite savory recipe, mash to create an amazing spread or aioli, create a flavorful topping for baked potatoes or pasta.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
