Recently my vegetarian husband found out that he is gluten and wheat intollerant. Since that doesn't really leave him much that he can eat I decided to figure out new and exciting foods that keep him going. Here are some of my recipes that I have created in the last couple months.
Veggie Burgers
1 can black beans (not drained)
8oz chopped Tofu (optional)
1 can petite diced tomatoes (drained well) or 2 chopped fresh tomatoes (drained well)
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1 chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
diced jalapeños to taste
spices to taste (I like salt, pepper, asafoteda, oregano, garlic, cilantro & lime juice)
1/3 cup corn meal
2/3 cup of rice flour (add more if mixture is not sticking together enough)
Mix ingredients. Cook in at least ¼ inch of vegetable oil. Spoon out and put in oil. Flatten with spatula. Flip once. Cook time is approximately 3-6 minutes depending on the temperature of the oil.
Mexican Casserole
2 cans black beans (drained, but keep the juice)
8 oz cooked Tofu
1 can diced tomatoes (drained well) or 2 chopped fresh tomatoes (drained well)
diced jalapeños to taste
1 lb Three Cheese Mexican mix shredded cheese
2-4 Vegan Gluten Free Corn Tortillas (see next recipe)
Mexican spices to taste
Preheat oven at 375. 1st layer: 1 can well drained black beans and jalapeños topped with ½ of the tofu, 1/3 of the cheese and Mexican spices. Put 1-2 tortillas on top. 2nd layer: 1 can well drained black beans, tomatoes the rest of the tofu and jalapeños topped with 1/3 of the cheese and Mexican spices. Put 1-2 tortillas on top. Top layer: Spoon some black bean juice on top of the tortillas, then top with the rest of the cheese and Mexican spices. Put in oven at 375 for about 15-17 minutes.
Vegan Gluten Free Corn Tortillas
1 cup corn meal
1 1/3 cups rice flour
Mexican spices to taste
1 ¼ cups water
Mix ingredients together. Add more rice flour if it does not feel doughy enough. Add more water if it doesn't stick enough. Take a handful of the mixture and flatten between two pieces of saran wrap or wax paper. Peel paper back and drop flattened mixture into at least ¼ inch of hot vegetable oil (usually med hi heat will do). Flip once. Cook time between 2-5 minutes depending on the temperature of the oil.
