Gluten & Lactose free Bread buns

Gluten & Lactose free Bread buns

 

Like many folk with Coeliac Disease Sue is finding that Lactose intollance is becoming a problem. But problems are to be solved, not overwhelmed by. So having found the Almond Milk is absolutely useless in Tea Sue's looking for other way to use it. This is a slight adaptation of her Gluten Free Bread mix.

Ingredients:-

140g Self raising Gluten free flour
140g Almond Milk
4 tbsp Mayo
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix the ingredients.
(2) Place in a greased tray.
(3) Bake at 180C for 30 to 35 minutes

Great from burger buns etc. The trick is to let it cool, sliced in half and then toast on the cut side when you intend to serve.

Kofta - (Lambless)

We’ve arrived at “K”  in our Vegetarian Alphabet for fun gig. So Koftas seemed like fun. This is a totally made up recipe, but all recipes were made up by somebody at one time or another.

Ingredients:-

100g of Mung Beans
100g of Brown Lentils
Gram Flour
Dried Parsley
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
Ground Coriander
Cumin
Chilli powder
Garam Masala
2 cloves of Garlic, grated
Dried Ginger
Salt & Pepper
Oil to grill
1 tsp of Bicarbonate of Soda

Method:-

(1) Soak the Mung Beans and Lentils overnight
(2) Drain and rinse and boil with the Bicarbonate of Soda for 20 minutes.
(3) Drain again and set aside to cool.
(4) Mix the Gram Flour, Parsley, Onion, Coriander, Cumin, Chilli powder, Garam Masala, Garlic, Dried Ginger and Salt & Pepper in a large bowl.
(5) When the Beans and Lentils have drained and cooled pulse them a couple of times in a blender. You are looking for something slightly lumpy. Not a mush!
(6) Mix everything together and add Gram Flour if required so that you have a consistency which you can form around a skewer.
(7) Form around skewers to make your Koftas about an inch (2.5cm) think.
(8) Grill or Griddle turning regularly until your Koftas browned on all sides and heated through.

We served ours on a bed of boiled Rice with a Yogurt, Mint and Cucumber dip, Plum and Ginger Chutney, plus Coleslaw.

 

DIY Pizza

We’re great advocates for making everything we possible can from scratch. But Pizza bases have been out of reach since Lock-Down and we couldn’t get fold of Gluten free Bread Flour. Yesterday I made my usual discount isle forage in the local supermarket and the cleaning team had some of the fittings out to clean behind. Hanging off the back of the fitting was a 1kg bag of gold! I skipped home like a child who had found a £20 note. So armed with ½ a roast Chicken from the previous evening and a pack of Chorizo sliced Sue and I set about Pizza and Garlic Bread.

The full recipe from Phil Vickery’s “ Essential Gluten Free “ is below:-

Ingredients:-

250g Gluten free Bread Flour
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Sugar
7g Fast action Yeast (We got a 250g pack from the local Polish Deli a while ago)

Method:-

(1) Line a round baking tray with parchment.

1 Turkey Drummer
Potatoes
Onions
Swede
Carrot
Tomato Puree
Dried Rosemary
Turkey Stock
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Soy Sauce (Gluten free in our case)
Salt & Pepper
Gluten free Puff Pastry

Method:-

(2) The pie filling is entirely up to you but Sue made the filling from the Potatoes, Onions, Swede, Carrot, Tomato Puree, Dried Rosemary, Turkey Stock, Garlic Salt, Onion Salt, Soy Sauce, Salt & Pepper.
(3) In a casserole add your pie filling. Take the Drummer from the oven and stand it in the filling.
(4) Punch a hole it the pastry to (Hopefully) support the Drummer and place back in the oven at 180c for 25 to 30 minutes.

We had to take this beast of a pie apart so the we could eat it, but it really was good.
