Gluten Free Seafood Gumbo

Gluten Free Shrimp Gumbo with Rice

This spicy gluten free seafood gumbo consists of shrimp and red snapper and is a Cajun favorite, especially during Marti Gras. Gumbo stew is a Louisiana tradition and is famous for its dark roux (flour and butter). My mother was born in Louisiana; therefore, I think of her often when I make southern dishes. Gumbo is known for its dark roux and file spice. Adding in the holy trinity (onion, celery, and green peppers, some heat from ground cayenne pepper and hot sauce, and you have yourself an awesome creole dish. Feel free to substitute the red snapper and shrimp for your favorite seafood, firm fish, chicken, or sausage. If you read anything on this page, you must read how Alton Brown makes a dark roux!

Note: Read labels on shrimp as a few brands are processed on equipment that contain gluten. Continue reading “Gluten Free Seafood Gumbo”

Classic Gluten Free Minestrone Soup

It may at first appear that would not need a gluten free minestrone soup recipe and that it is naturally gluten free. However, you will need to know which brands of broth are gluten free, as well as gravy enhancers, if using. In addition, when storing leftover soup containing pasta, it tends to get soft and mushy. To prevent this, using my homemade egg noodle recipe avoids this problem. You may also cook the pasta separately. Check out the brands of pasta I enjoy most.

Gluten Free Smoky Venison Stew Recipe

With deer hunting coming to an end, at least in California, I thought I would share this amazing gluten free smoky venison stew recipe with you. I never used to eat venison until I developed this recipe. I created it in honor of Wright’s Liquid Smoke’s upcoming venison easy to enter contest where they will reveal three additional smoky venison recipes and giveaway a huge gift certificate. (Stay tuned in for details next week.) Because venison can be taste gamy, searing the meat covers the gamy flavor, as does smoked paprika and liquid smoke. If you happen to have some venison in your freezer (deer hunters often give some away), I hope you enjoy this recipe. (Wright’s Liquid Smoke is gluten-free.)
