Quick and Easy Gluten-Free Meals
|
|
It’s easy to create quick, tasty and healthy gluten-free meals.
Being gluten-intolerant can be daunting if you don’t know what to eat. A good website to check is www.mfd.co.nz, which lists ‘safe’ foods for a range of allergies. Here are some fail-safe recipes for when you don’t have a lot of time in the kitchen, and let’s face it who can be bothered cooking a big meal after a hard day at work?
Warm Pasta Salad
 This is really filling, tastes awesome and is great for lunch the next day!
1 pack of Healtheries Simple Pasta (available at Woolworths)
1 pack of Wattie’s Potatoes O’Brien
¼ cup of fresh herbs
Feta cheese to taste
2-3 table spoons of olive oil
Juice of one lemon
Salami (Verkerks and Pieters brands are gluten free)
Cook the pasta and lightly fry the Potatoes O’Brien. Once they are cooked mix in with the herbs, feta, oil, lemon juice and salami.
Serves 2
(This recipe is also available in its original form on www.foodinaminute.co.nz)
 Pear, walnut and green salad
This is perfect for a light meal on a hot summer’s night. Team it with a nice cool glass of Pinot Gris.
3 pears thinly sliced
1 1/2 cup of walnuts, chopped
Brie or camembert cheese to taste
Salad greens
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Mix the salad greens, walnuts, pears and cheese together in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a dash of olive oil to taste.
Serves 2
Home-made pizzas
 This beats takeaways and is great for a lazy Saturday night dinner.
1 pack of Venerdi pizza bases (available at Commonsense Organics)
Leggo’s Pizza sauce
Tasty cheese, grated
1 tin of diced pineapple
1 pack of Beehive bacon
Fresh herbs
Cover the bases with pizza sauce then go crazy with the toppings. Cook in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes at 180 degrees for the best pizza you will ever taste.
Serves 2 -3
A twist on fish burgers
Perfect for a casual BBQ dinner with friends
2-3 fillets of butterfish (or similar)
2 or more slices of gluten-free bread (available at Commonsense Organics and most supermarkets)
1 avocado, sliced
1 pack of Kumara Rosti from Kauri Coast Kumara
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
1-2 tomatoes, sliced
Blue vein cheese
Sour cream
Eta yoghurt and garlic dressing
Grill the fish and the kumara cakes on the BBQ and lightly toast the bread. Spread the sour cream or Eta dressing on the bread then add in the other ingredients to create this mouth-watering sandwich.
Serves 2-3
Enjoy!
