Recipes - Some good non-dairy, low gluten, soy free eats

in

Coconut Milk Vanilla IceCream

Gluten & Wheat free--Dairy free--Soy Free

  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp guar gum ( Make a paste with a little of the coconut milk before adding in)
  • 3 tbl evaporated cane juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbl liquor or high proof alcohol

If you want to make popcicles you can ommit the liquor.  Other wise it freezes to hard.  You can also leave out the vanilla and try your own flavors.  I recently tried chocolate and triple sec and it was very good.

 

Pumpkin Pie

Gluten & wheat free--Dairy Free--Soy Free

Buy a wheat free pie shell from the frozen food department of either Rainbow or Whole Foods.  If wheat free isnt important to you, you can make your own pie shell in advance.

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.  Mix the following:

  • 2 eggs beaten (or vegan egg substitue)
  • 1/3 cup evaporated cane juice
  • 1 tsp organic cinnamon
  • 1 tsp organic vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 can organic pumpkin or make your own from a sugar pie pumpkin.  Carving pumpkins have little flavor.
  • 1 can coconut milk.  Use about 12 oz of the heaviest part of the milk.  Find something else to do with the rest.

Bake at 450 for 30 mins.  Turn down to 350 degrees and bake for another 45 mins.

 

Shepard's Pie

Low Gluten & Wheat --Dairy Free--Soy Free

Shell- In large microwavable bowl, mix the following.  Microwave on high until the water is absorbed.  Stir regularly.  Once the polenta is cooked, press it into a pie pan or baking dish.  I like to use polenta because it holds together better than mash potatoes and add an extra dimension to the flavor and texture.  Always use corn products sparingly.

  • 1 cup polenta
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tsp salt

Filling- Prepare along side the mashed potatoes.  Fill the shell when ready.  I use poultry sausages in mine but you can easily omit this to make it vegan.

  • 1 small onion diced and caramelized. Then add
  • 1/2 lbs of sausages cut up small and brown.  Wilt the following 3 in the pan
  • 2-3 baby bok choy diced
  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1 carrot.  Then add,
  • 1 can chick peas rinsed.

White Sauce- Pour over filling before topping with mashed potatoes.

  • 2 TBL margarine
  • Almond milk
  • Flour or substitute.

Topping- Make a half recipe of Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Prepare while the polenta is cooking.

Bake long enough to brown and set.  Its already cooked so exact time depends on you and your oven.

 

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Wheat & Glutin Free--Dairy Free--Low Soy

Non-dairy mashed potatoes is one of my great victories.  If you love rich food and garlic, you'll love this.

  • 3 lbs potatoes, pealed and cut into large chunks.  Cover with water and add
  • 1-2 tsp salt.  Boil until potatoes are nearly done.  Then add
  • 2 tsp garlic.  When garlic and potatoes are finished, drain off as much water as you are able.  Add
  • 2 TBL margarine.  Mash and add
  • 1 cup coconut milk.
