4) Then add the bok choy, then cover the skillet and let the bok choy steam for around 10-15, till it's semi-soft. ( if you have cooked bok choy you can skip this step)

5) Add eggs whites, make sure the bok choy and onion are covered in egg whites.

6) Add the remaining ingredients, and scramble eggs whites like crazy! Make sure it's cooked.

Spotlight: King Arthur's Gluten-Free Bread Mix



King Arthur's is well know for their superior flour quality, no other brand can compare to their taste and texture. There long a waited Gluten-Free flours and mixes are finally available in stores to the public. Somethings in life are just worth waiting for.

The verdict, this bread is a slice heaven. King Arthur's doesn't disappoint, the quality of the this mix is outstanding. The texture is incredible, its crunch on the outside and the dough is fluffy on the inside. Unlike most gluten-free bread mixes, this one has no funny after taste. It blows the competition out of the water, one bite and you'd swear you were eating regular bread.

This mix does take a long time to prepare, you need to let it rise for 30 min, then put the mix in a bread pan and let it rise again for 20-40 mins. Eventually placing the pan the oven to bake for 50-60 mins. Yet,for results like these it's worth the wait. The king has re-claimed his thrown.

( I didn't have a bread pan so I used a bunt pan, it still came out great. )

For more information:


*Please note: that some of King Arthur's gluten-free mixes, such as there chocolate cake, brownies and cookie mix do contain corn-starch. The bread mix does contain potato starch*

[For a potato starch free alternative, we recommend, Namaste Foods Bread Mix, another great product]

Best Bread Mix on the planet!

Beer Battered Veggie Tempura! (Version 1)



Tempura has always been a favorite of mine as long as I can remember. It's Japanese deep fried vegetables or seafood. After reading, The gloriously gluten-free cookbook, by Vanessa Maltin, I was inspired to create my own gluten-free tempura dish. As wonderful as Vanessa's recipe is, I had to make a few modifications. This is the corn/gluten/dairy-free version, the long line of many versions to come.

*Note: originally tempura batter is made with eggs *


Beer Battered Veggie Tempura! (Version 1)

For the Batter:
-7 oz of Redbridge gluten-free beer
- 1/2 cup of tapioca starch
- 2/3 cup of millet flour
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 packet of yeast

For Frying:
-Canola oil or Grapeseed oil
2 yellow or green peppers
2-3 sweet potatoes
1 head of broccoli

* other veggie suggestions: string beans, asparagus, feel free to be creative*

( seafood can be used with this batter, if your not allergic )

Directions:

Batter:

In a large bowl, combine all batter ingredients, and whisk well together.

Frying:

1) Prep the vegetables by slicing them into bit-sized pieces.

2) In a large skillet or pot ( if your using a pot, you'll need around 3 cups of oil); heat over medium heat, until oil is ready

3) Dip veggies into batter and make sure their coated well. Carefully place veggies in hot oil, and fry everything until golden brown. ( If using a skillet, see photo below, you'll have to flip the veggies till golden brow)




4) Remove crispy veggies from skillet place on a plate with a paper towel to cool and soak any additional oil.


Enjoy the Beer Battered Goodness !

Triple Disaster, so let's make Muffins instead !

Like my fellow New Yorker's who tune in at 3'o clock in the afternoon to watch televisions latest sensation, The Doctor Oz Show; I was blown away by Dr. Oz's presentation of a new triple chocolate cookie recipe. This recipe was created by Chief Ricco Dispurto, author of, Now Eat This! He has claimed to have created a 45 calorie cookie. His secret, No flour! What an astonishing revelation;eliminating the cumbersome task of experimenting with different flour ratios. Anyone who has baked gluten/allergy-free chocolate cookie knows that it is no easy task. One must go through trial and error to find precise flour ratios, to ensure a similar texture and taste, as their original counter parts. This recipe was a god-send, the way we bake cookies is going to change forever or so I thought.

As the old saying goes if it's too good to be true, then it probably is. Ricco's recipe crashed and burned from the start. It looked great on paper. The cannellini beans are adapted from a technique that is often used in Japanese pastries. In which uses red/white beans to accompany flour or replace it. The egg whites when stiff along with the sugar would create a meringue texture replacing the flours "stiffness". For the first-time in Good-Stuff history, I followed this recipe exactly to the letter.

In practice, it fell apart. As I poured the batter on to the cookie sheet, I expected a stiff meringue like texture, the result was watery and disgusting. Realizing that my hopes for chocolate chip cookies had been dashed; I grabbed the muffin pan, and poured the batter inside. Thanks to some quick thinking, I ending up baking beautiful muffins and they were delicious. I had saved the day, so to speak, but the quest for a good chocolate chip recipe still continues.

Ricco's recipe set many high exceptions, but when executing it, it fails to meet them. While it’s theoretical possible to bake cookies without flour, it didn't work out this time in our kitchen. We would like to see flour-less cookie recipe that’s works. The Good Stuff issues a challenge to you, the reader. Do you think you can create your version of a flour-less cookie recipe?

Then send it to us:

thegoodstuffny@gmail.com

and we'll feature it on our blog. (you must send a picture or video with your recipe, for more details click here)

In addition we rate the muffins alternative as: 3.7/ 5

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES


Ingredients:

Makes 20 cookies

1 serving: 45 calories

1.4 g fat

2 g protein

9 g carbohydrates

0mg cholesterol

2 g fiber

32 mg sodium

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

1 cup canned white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

2 tbsp light agave syrup

3 large egg whites

11/2 cups granulated artificial sweetner

1/4 cup dark chocolate-covered cacao nibs

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375@F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine vanilla, cocoa, cannellini beans, and the agave syrup, and blend the mixture until smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl halfway through blending.

In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the artificial sweetner. Continue to beat the whites until they are creamy and nearly stiff. Add 1/3 of the egg-white mixture to the cocoa bean mixture in the food processor. Blend to combine, for about 30 seconds. In 2 batches, fold the lightened cocoa mixture into the egg whites until they are almost fully combined. Add cacao nibs to the batter. Fold batter until cacao nibs are evenly dispersed and cocoa mixture is completely incorporated.

Drop mounded spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheets. Spread batter out to form cookies about 21/2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the cookies.

Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the pans one turn halfway through baking. Using a metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.

*Extra Special* The Good Stuff Spotlight: Righteously Raw Chocolate Bars



Up until now, I thought that when it came to soy/corn/gluten/nuts-free chocolate Enjoy Life Foods had dominated the market. Today I discovered an alternative, a delightfully chocolate bar from Righteously Raw. This product live up to it's name. It blew me away, yes there's gluten-free and nut free candy on the market. It's difficult to find a chocolate bar that is soy/corn free, they're the most common ingredients, next to the chocolate respectively. Yet to find a chocolate bar that doesn't contain gluten/soy/corn and is made in a nut-free facility, and ( can't stress this enough) is also organic; that's very rare.

The Verdict: It tastes great, the filling is unbelievable. Each bar is filled with a special super-food: goji berries, acai, to name a few, and they're wonderful for your health. In this case you can have your cake and eat it too. We say keep up the good work Righteously Raw- looking forward to more products in the future.

Independence Day Pineapple Stir-Fry Surprise ! (Original Recipe)

As the 4th of July approached, I realized that my annual hot dog tradition has been put on hiatus. It looked like a golden opportunity to try this recipe.

The Princess and The Frog: Swamp-Bottom Gumbo

In Honor of Disney's movie The Princess and the Frog, I have been inspired to create a gluten-free vegetarian gumbo. Our recipe is loosely based on the two recipes below.


Quick Vegetarian Gumbo | WholeFoodsMarket.com

Swamp-Bottom Gumbo ( movie pun..LOL)

I tried to be as authentic as possible and use a roux. *Reminder- this recipe requires a lot of time and patience, if you want quick and easy gumbo, use the whole foods recipe with the same ingredient *

(Note: This recipe is very flexible, if your not allergic to meat/chicken/seafood, add at step 3)

Ingredients-

Roux-

1/2 cup of grapeseed oil ( tid bit- why grapeseed oil? It has many wonderful qualities: it's great for cooking at high heat, it's lighter then olive oil, while it also has the same health benefits, and it goes well with meat/seafood)

1/2 cup of brown rice flour or sweet rice flour

The Rest-

1 medium onion chopped

1/2 cup of chopped green onions

1 cup of frozen bell peppers ( 1/2 cup can be used- I really love peppers so I added extra)

8-10 oz package of frozen sliced okra

1 can of cannellini beans

1 (28 oz) can of diced tomatoes

2 minced cloves of garlic

3- 4 cups of veg. stock

1/2 teaspoon of thyme

3 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

last by not least Tabasco sauce- ( Chipotle Tabasco sauce was used, but any other variety works too)

3 cups of brown rice


*To make the roux*



Combine the oil and flour in a heavy stockpot. Over medium heat, whisk continually until the mixture turns a deep caramel color. Stir continually and remove from heat as soon as the mixture turns a deep caramel color like in the photo above.
( time: 20-30 mins)

After:

Step 1- Add chopped onions, celery, bell pepper and green onions and return to medium heat. Stir until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2- Put the okra in a heavy skillet and stir, over medium heat until not "ropey", about 15 minutes. (The ropes are clear strings of natural mucilage which make okra an excellent thickener). Remove from heat.

Step 3- Add the veg. stock, beans, chopped tomatoes, okra, seasonings and garlic to the pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

To serve, place 1/2 cup cooked rice in bowls and add gumbo. Garnish with a few drops of Tabasco.


Viola ! As Tiana's father said .."good food warms you heart and soul". That definitely holds true when it comes to this gumbo.

Gluten-Free Tuesday Surprise at Whole Foods

Every Tuesday, Whole Foods Markets gives out Gluten-Free samples throughout the store. Luckily, I had some free time and I was check out the samples. There were lots of great items, from Curious Cookies to Mary's Gone Crackers; given my 6 food allergies they're not for me. Just as I was about to finish, I came across Gilbert's Gourmet Goodies. I had discovered another cookie company that was gluten-free and didn't have soy, corn or nuts in there ingredients. Hurray !!
These sugar cookies are out of this world. Not only do they taste like a real sugar cookie, but they're the perfect blend of soft and crunch. Gilbert's Gourmet Goodies also offers Chocolate Chip Paradise and Super Dooper Snickerdoodle cookies, in bit size or a large cookie if your on the go. In addition, they also sell ready-made cookie dough.

Please take note that the chocolate chips in the Chocolate Chip Paradise Cookie does contain soy lecthin. This cookie isn't 100% soy-free, but the rest are. All the cookies are made with Palm Oil, it's true that it's non-hydrogenated ( meaning no trans-fat), but there is still saturated fat. So remember cookies are a once in a while treat.

If your looking for a soy-free chocolate chip cookie, we recommend Enjoy Life Foods, free of the top-8 allergens and more.

The Good Stuff rates Gilbert's Gourmet Goodies :

4/5 on a whole ( why not use soy-free chocolate chips?)

5/5 on their Sensational Sugar Cookie.

Passover special: Gluten-free Matzah Brie


Every Passover I look forward to making my favorite dish Matzah Brei. I created a special recipe when I was a teenager and it's been a hit ever since. This year Passover was going to be different experience. If you a have wheat/gluten allergies you can't eat regular matzah. What was I going to do? Would I ever be able to make my favorite dish again?


After searching high and low I finally found gluten-free matzah. Dai yenu!


This is the best matzah you'll ever taste, its even better than regular matzah. It's shemura matzah made from gluten-free oats. It's also the most expensive matzah brie you'll ever make. This box of matzah cost $24, but being able to cook your favorite recipe-priceless.

Here it is the Gluten-Free version of my original Matzah Brei recipe:

3 piece of g-free matzah
milk ( or rice milk)
1 egg white
dash of cinnamon
1 tsp agave syrup

In a large bowl break the 3 pieces of matzah into tiny little pieces. Add milk so that 3/4 of the matzah is covered, like eating a bowl of cereal, remember you don't want to drown them. Let them soak for a few minutes until there semi-soft. Then add cinnamon, and agave syrup, it's oatmeal after all.

In separate bowl beat egg white and add to large bowl and mix. This recipe is pretty flexible, if there's too much milk add more matzah, or vice versa. Feel free to experiment.

Now it's time to heat up the pan, on a low-med flame. Use oil or butter, which ever you prefer.

When the pan is hot pour matzah batter, it should form a circle. This is similar to cooking pancakes, let first cook for around 5 mins or until the batter looks uniform or compact. Then flip, ( if you can't flip the entire thing divide in half or 4's) , let the other side for about 3-4 mins.

Then your done. You add syrup , or fruit and enjoy =) Happy Passover !
