Fig & Goat Cheese Rollups, Gluten-Free Naturally

Naturally Gluten-Free Appetizers
Fig & Goat Cheese Rollups
Makes 24 pieces

INGREDIENTS
¼ Cup Olive Oil
1-2 Lemons, Zest & Juice
Salt & Pepper, to taste
12 Slices Prosciutto or Ham
8 Ozs Goat Cheese, softened to room temperature
12 Fresh Figs, sliced
2 Handfuls of Arugula

INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Lay the prosciutto/ham out in rows on a clean counter. Spread each slice with a thin layer of goat cheese. Arrange the fig slices on top, covering evenly, but stopping short of one end of the meat. Arrange the arugula on top of the figs so that the leafy edges stick out beyond the meat, stop short of the end again. Drizzle each strip with a little of the lemon vinaigrette.

Create the rollups, beginning at the heavy end and finishing at the empty end. Fasten the finished roll with two toothpicks, placing one about half-way on each side. Slice each roll in half crosswise between the toothpicks, and place cut-side down on a serving platter, so that the leafy ends are exposed. Rolls can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated for a couple hours.

Coconut Braised Chicken, Gluten-Free Naturally


Naturally Gluten-Free Meals
Coconut, Braised Chicken
Serves 4 people

INGREDIENTS
2 Tbls Coconut Oil
1-2 Lbs Chicken, with skin/bones
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1/2 Large Yellow Onion, sliced
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Can Coconut Milk, 13.6 oz
1-2 Aji Amarillo Chili Pepper or Ancho Pepper
1 Small Butternut Squash, cubed
¾ Cup Fresh or Frozen Peas
½ Bunch Fresh Cilantro Leaves, roughly chopped
Cooked Rice or Boiled Yucca, for serving

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F
Adjust rack to lower-middle position

Add coconut oil to a 6-quart Dutch oven or similar heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot and heat over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear, skin side down, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken and sear on other side until browned, about 4 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Lower heat to medium and add sliced onion and minced garlic to pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken, until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.

Increase heat to high, then add coconut milk, ají amarillo, and squash, season with salt and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pot along with any accumulated juices, resting it skin side up on top of squash so that skin remains above the surface of the liquid.

Transfer pot to oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through and squash is tender, about 45 minutes.

Remove from oven, remove chicken, stir in peas and cilantro before replacing chicken. Serve right away with rice or boiled yucca.

Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken


Naturally Gluten-Free Meals
Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken W/Potatoes
Serves 6 people

INGREDIENTS
1 Chicken, cut-up
1 ½ Lbs Potatoes, thinly sliced

Marinade
2 Dried Ancho Chilies, re-hydrated
2 Tbls Smoked Paprika
6 Cloves Garlic, crushed
1 Tbl Kosher Salt
1 Tsp Coriander
¼ Cup Red Wine Vinegar
¼ Cup Olive Oil
½ Tsp Black Pepper

Cilantro Sauce
1 Cup Plain Yogurt
1 Bunch Cilantro, chopped
½ Tsp Sea Salt
½ Tsp Coriander
White Pepper to taste
1 Tbl Lemon Juice
1 Tbl Olive Oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 F

Rehydrate dried chilies in small pot of boiling water on the stove for 20 minutes.

Place the chilies, paprika, garlic, coriander, vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper in a bowl and blend until smooth with a stick blender.  Brush a layer of marinade on the bottom of a large, rimmed, sheet pan. Place the thinly sliced potatoes on top of the marinade and sprinkle with salt, overlapping slightly but not too much.  Place the chicken skin side up on top of the potatoes and brush with the marinade. Turn the chicken over, skin side down, brush with the marinade and place in the hot oven. Set the remaining marinade aside to be used later.

After 15 minutes, turn the chicken over and brush all of the remaining marinade on the skin side. Return to the oven and bake until cooked through another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.  To crisp the skin and get it deeply brown, broil for a few final minutes.

While chicken is roasting, combine yogurt, cilantro, coriander, lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper together in a bowl, using the stick blender to mix.
