A dinner party…it’s great when I can make something gluten free. It’s so hard to cook a meal without being able to “taste test”…. Always wondering if the seasoning is right & making any child that wanders through the kitchen an “official taster”. So tonight, I decided to make a 100% gluten free meal…the menu: (ta dah!)
White Wine Sangria ( this just screams summer vacation..,even if it’s still snowing where you are)
Chips, Salsa & Guacamole
Fish Tacos on the Grill with Slaw (tonight’s recipe!)
Rice & Beans
Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream & Raspberries
Yeah…..it WAS as good as it sounds and the fish tacos turned out awesome! using gluten free flour and bread crumbs!
Here’s the recipe: (serves 5)
Fish
11/2 lb fish (I used grouper), cut into chunks1-2″
2 eggs, whisked with a splash on milk and dash of salt
1 1/2 c gluten free bread crumbs, mixed with 1T old Bay seasoning, dash salt, pepper and 1T olive oil, mixed well
1c Pamela’s gluten free flour
Place a sheet of tin foil on a cookie sheet and brush well with olive oil
Place fish pieces in Tupperware with 2 paper towels, shake well, dispose of towel (in airtight trash….stinky!) Shake on 1 c flour, close lid & shake it … Turn on the music because there is more shaking in a minute.
Dip floured pieces of fish in egg wash, the bread crumb mix and then place on tin foil. Slide tin foil onto grill and cook 3 mins per side. Remove with tongs and place in serving dish.
Slaw
1/2 head green and red cabbage, sliced very thinly
Place in large Tupperware. Add 1T red onion
In bowl mix 1/2 c milk, 1/4 c mayonnaise, 1/2 jalapeño, 2T sugar, salt & pepper, 1 t lemon juice and 1T vinegar, 2t red pepper flakes. Whisk well, then pour over cabbage and shake it like crazy! Keep going! Refrigerate and then shake in 1/4 c cilantro when you’re ready to serve it!
Warm tortillas, fill tortillas with fish & slaw and top with a little fresh lime juice!
Stay tuned! The cake recipe tomorrow!
