1 TB olive oil
5 ounces cooked, chopped or shredded chicken
3 scallions, chopped

1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to thin sauce

Directions

In a food processor add seeded jalapeno and garlic to chop. Then add all ingredients accept the water the process until blended. Add water to thin sauce until it drips off of a spoon easily. Some may like the sauce thicker and it is great for adding to rice noodles or dipping in spring rolls.





Brush olive oil on both sides of frozen pizza crust. Grill over medium-low heat (about 500-600°F) for about 2 minutes (one side only). Remove from grill. Top pizza crust with peanut sauce, shredded cheese, chicken, bean sprouts, scallions, carrots, both peppers and 1/2 of the cilantro.

Lower heat. Grill pizza directly on grates for about 7 minutes to 10 minutes, watching carefully that crust does not burn. Crust should be crispy and cheese should be melted and starting to bubble. Vegetables will be slightly cooked but still crunchy and fresh!

Remove from grill and top with remaining cilantro and drizzle extra peanut sauce on top!

You can also bake at 400 degrees for 12-14 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.  Enjoy!

GF Vegetarian Lentil Walnut Pate

For our Passover seder I use this vegetarian pate in place of chicken liver pate. Everyone loves it!







Ingredients

1/2 cup lentils

3 medium yellow onions

1 cup water (to cook lentils)

1/2 cup walnuts

4 scrambled egg whites

salt to taste



Directions:

Bring lentils to a boil and then simmer for about 45 minutes or until water is absorbed. Chop onions and saute in olive oil until carmelized (transparent). Remove onions from pan and cook egg whites in a scramble fashion. If your food processor cannot fit all ingredients at once put equal amounts of lentils, onions, cooked egg whites and walnuts into food processor and process until a smooth pate and add salt to taste. Repeat with equal parts until done. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour but more time is better to let it firm up and cool. Serve on a plate with bibb lettuce and tomato slices for a great appetizer with gf  matzah or crackers.

#GF Dairy and Egg Free Pancakes

Around my house we (I) get excited when easy egg-free recipes work! Finally an egg-free pancake that tastes good!

Dry Ingredients

1 cup Bistro Blend All Purpose Flour (www.theglutenfreebistro.com)

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 TBSP sugar

1 pinch sea salt

 

Wet Ingredients

1 1/2 cups coconut milk (not condensed)- I am pretty sure any alternative milk would work

1 TBSP apple cider vinegar

1 TBSP melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla

 

Place all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Mix together with a whisk. Add wet ingredients and whisk until blended.  Place spoonfuls of batter into a frying pan with Smart Balance Spread or vegetable oil on medium heat. Cook until the side facing down is brown and firm and then flip.

No pics this time my pancakes were not pretty enough but they are tasty!
