On the menu for our gluten free and dairy free dinner with friends:
Sausage and Kale over pasta
Brown rice bread
Vanilla Pudding
Sausage and Kale over pasta
3 Hot Italian sausages, casings removed
1 head of garlic, chopped
3-6T olive oil
Dash salt, dash pepper
1 bunch of Kale, coarsely chopped
Sautee crumbled sausage and garlic, extra oil is added to ensure kale will be thoroughly coated.
When sausage is cooked add kale, toss to coat, cover pan with lid, cook until kale is partially wilted. Serve immediately over angel hair pasta with optional parmesean cheese.
This was great! Delicious!
Unfortunately we served it over multi-grain(rice,quinoa,amaranth but gluten free) pasta, which to give it credit and not to rate it as a total fail does taste like whole wheat pasta. But this stuff is sticky and while cooking managed to break into a billion little 1-2inch pieces. So it didn't really have the presentation of a mound of spaghetti noodles. If you want that with a bright yellow color and that taste like corn use the quinoa noodles. But as far as taste goes this worked out.
Brown Rice Bread
2c Brown Rice Baking Mix
2 eggs
2 T oil
1 T honey
1 1/4c almond milk
I used a mix (Fearn brand that is in the brown and gold box that looks like it came from a health food store in the 70's). I was unable to purchase all of the ingredients to make gluten free bread. No store seems to have all the necessary ingredients in stock at the same time. So I am one purchase of potato starch away from GF bread. Maybe even focacia
It was good even though it was rice, of which I am not very fond of in non-standard form.
Vanilla Pudding* (Or vanilla flavored silly putty, intend for kids that even eat their paste)
6T arrowroot starch
4c almond milk
1/2c maple syrup
pinch salt
2T vanilla
1/2t nutmeg
This was not consumable, even though I upped the vanilla to 2T. It was jiggly after being chilled and folded around your spoon and oozed around like almond colored snot. This was an absolute fail and I am seriously considering NEVER trying another bobsredmill recipe again. What were they thinking?! I will post a good recipe later, I know one exists. It uses EGGS and SUGAR.
Sigh, but we had good dinner companions, who only tittered a little at my pudding faux pas. And then politely asked for more of that yummy brown rice bread with some jam please. There was no leftover Sausage and Kale.

Aww, I love you :). I would count dinner as a success, and the "pudding" was pretty entertaining. Plus, it started out as one of those crazy non-newtonian fluids!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried just the plain rice pasta? It has a plainer, more traditional pasta-like taste, but the texture is kind of weird. I also had some stuck-together strands.
ReplyDeleteI bought corn spaghetti at Harry's last week -- sounds like it will be weird, but it was the cheapest wheat-free, non-rice option. I'll let you know how it goes.
