Menu of the Week: Menu Plan Monday and Gluten Free Menu Swap
Posted By yum On April 6, 2008 @ 5:26 pm In Dressing of the Week, Gluten Free Menu Swap Monday, Menu, Menu Plan Monday | 8 Comments
[1]The gluten-free menu swap is hosted by Gluten-Free Mommy [2] this week, and the ingredient of the week is asparagus. Funny, I almost bought some at the farmer’s market this morning! I always enjoy posting my menus over at Org Junkie [3] as well, so go check out the many menus available there. As you know, I’ve been in a vegan mood lately, and I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration from Isa Chandra Moskowitz. Vegan cookbook authors have a lot to offer the gluten-free vegetarian, especially if you don’t or can’t do dairy or eggs. Although many recipes require modification, I’ve really enjoyed Isa’s first book, Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock [4] as well as Isa’s latest book, Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook [5]
. They’re great reading, and have lots of creative ideas for savory, dairy free meals. Enjoy!

Did you see this week’s post about a very special Gluten-free Tea Party?
I know I haven’t been posting very frequently lately, but the school term just started and I am crazy busy. To make it up to you a little, I’ve included a full recipe with my weekly dressing… It was goooo-od and I’m still enjoying the dressing. In fact, I have some fresh beet greens that are crying out for some tahini sauce… hmm…

Garlic Greens with Horseradish Coriander Crumble Recipe
|
||
Ingredients
Greens:
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 bunch red chard 1 bunch beet greens 1/2 tsp salt Crumble: Tahini Dressing (See recipe in files)
Directions
Prepare Tahini Dressing and Crumble.
Crumble: If you don’t have pre-made bread crumbs, take 1 or 1/2 of a slice of GF Bread (or bagel or whatever you have on hand). Toast it, cool it (if you’re patient) and whir it up in a food processor until you have nice bread crumbs. Combine bread crumbs, fresh mint, grated horseradish, lemon zest, coriander seeds, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and then drizzle oil over the mixture, stirring to evenly distribute. Spread evenly on your baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, rotating pan if necessary. Let topping get golden but not brown, and be careful not to burn. Remove from oven and use immediately or let come to room temperature. Greens: To serve, for each individual serving, add extra dressing if you like and then sprinkle a generous amount of the horseradish coriander crumble on the greens. (Wait until serving so it doesn’t get soggy) |

Tahini Dressing Recipe
|
||
Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic 1/4 cup tahini 2 tsp cider vinegar 1 tsp. agave syrup or honey or more to taste 1/2 tsp salt 1 lemon, juiced 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked is good!) 1/4 cup fresh parsley 1/2 cup water
Directions
Heat your olive oil in a small nonstick pan to low and add your garlic, turning and letting turn a very light golden color. Don’t burn or it will become bitter. Combine all ingredients in a blender and liquidize until all ingredients are smooth but you can still see pieces of parsley. Add a little extra parsley at the very end if you want more large pieces of parsley in your dressing.
Reserve and chill before using. It will thicken. |
