You Can Easily Make Amazing Food Only Using Dairy Free Recipes

By Charlie Monaghan Carter

Many people are intolerant to gluten. This protein is found in certain oats, wheat, rye, and barley. It can be difficult to digest and therefore irritates the digestive tract as well as other organs. Here is a tasty three-course meal to cater for four people - a starter, a main, and a dessert, all of which are gluten free recipes.

Corn and Chicken Soup (serves 4): You will need one whole chicken (remove skin and cut into pieces), one chopped onion, one carrot (peeled and sliced), one chopped celery stalk, six black peppercorns, one bay leaf, salt and pepper, one eight-ounce can of creamed corn, and one quart of water.

Put ingredients into a big wok or saucepan and boil on medium heat. Simmer for 30 minutes. Take the chicken out. Put the stock through a strainer and then pour it back into the saucepan. Add the creamed corn. Stir while it comes to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Break the chicken into strips and add to the mixture.

Chili Colorado. Ingredients: two pounds lean beef cut into cubes, 3 tablespoons rice flour, one crushed garlic clove, quarter cup extra virgin olive oil, quarter cup of chili powder (more if you like), 5 cups beef stock, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Cover the beef cubes with rice flour. Ensure they are evenly coated.

Put olive oil in a large pan and heat on medium, then add the beef. Reduce heat to low. Cook and stir for 7-10 minutes until the meat is brown and tender. Add the remaining flour and garlic. Cook for another two minutes. Add the chili powder and stir well.

Pour in the beef broth and add the sea salt. Let the mixture boil on a medium heat. When boiled, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Cook for slightly longer if the beef is not properly cooked and the sauce has not thickened.

Cinnamon and Toffee Apples: You will need 4 apples (peeled, cored and sliced into thin wedges), 2 tablespoons white sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, 4 tablespoons of extra thick cream, 1/2 cup of pecan nuts, ten pieces of caramel, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Stir the butter, cinnamon and sugar in a large skillet until the sugar dissolves. Put the apples in a pan - stir and cook for 5 minutes until they color and soften, then add the caramel. Reduce heat and stir until the caramel has melted. Add the pecans and cream, stir and simmer for a minute or two. Cool slightly, then serve. That's it - three lovely gluten free recipes.
