An Incomplete List of Gluten Free Recipes I Love
There are a lot of reasons to have a suite of go-to gluten-free recipes. If you or your partner can't eat gluten, if you are going to a potluck/dinner party and want to make sure everyone there can eat Something, if you are on an archaeological project for 3 weeks sharing a house with a rotating cast of 3-5 other people with various dietary restrictions... you want to make sure you know how to make things that everyone can eat that aren't just Salad.
I make a lot of these for myself regularly or For Special Occasions and can vouch for all of them, they're Real Good
Socca (chickpea-flour flatbread)
Baked Pears with Goat Cheese, Bacon, and Honey
You can remove any of those things but together they are so good
Quesadillas on Corn Tortillas
Easy, fast, filling, infinitely customizable. All you really need is butter, a tortilla, and cheese; optionally you can include spices like cumin/chili/paprika/pepper, beans, pulled pork, pulled chicken, beef cubes, hatch chiles, green onion… the quesadilla is your oyster.
Shakshouka (Mediterranean poached eggs in tomato sauce)
More of a fancy brunch than a lunch, really. Officially it's a breakfast food but who has time to make it for breakfast.
I made it with these minor alterations (roast the squash first, it brings out the flavor). If you don't want to go through the time it takes to build up vegetable ends, and you can't find certified gluten-free vegetable stock, using water is okay.
Creamy Roasted Mushroom and Brie Soup
The recipe calls for flour as a thickening agent; you can use gluten-free cornstarch or rice flour, or just omit it entirely, it’s fine.
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas
Mchicha (African potato-peanut-spinach curry)
Optionally vegan and dairy-free but it's a little harder
Again, if you can't find certified gluten-free stock or broth, replacing it with water is okay. This is full of flavor already.
Fall Dal (Apple Squash Lentils)
The three ingredient peanut butter/sugar/egg classic
Almond-Cornmeal Citrus Cake
It's really good!! I made this one with a berry compote on top instead of glaze and it came out great.
