gluten free vegetarian ideas

[flowerseverywhere]

I have a young couple that will be getting off a 14 hour flight, first stop my house. They eat gluten free and vegetarian. Besides having some good fruit, I need some suggestions for a few meals to have for them as they recover from their flight and move on. They eat cheese but no milk or eggs.

I was thinking some kind of rice vegetable dish. Maybe apple pie or crisp. Any ideas or recipes?

I have a good recipe that has brown rice, garbanzo beans, sliced sundries tomatoes and parsley mixed with an Italian type dressing. There might be a few more ingredients. If you think this would be good for you, I will post the recipe today as soon as I can. :)

good old pasta with pesto! There are some good gluten free pastas out there. The corn or brown rice pastas are my favorite. Or pasta tossed with tomato, olive oil, olives, maybe some beans, seasoning.

Hi flowers, here is the recipe, I think it will be enjoyed:

Ingredients

2 Tbls. Unsalted butter
1 Tbls. Olive oil
1-15 oz. can of chick-peas rinsed and drained
Or 2 cups of freshly cooked
1 1/2 Tbls. chopped drained sundries tomatoes packed in oil (
I use more)
1/3 cup of fresh minced parsley -- my note please use fresh or it just isn't as good
2 1/2 to 3 cups cold, cooked brown or white rice
1 tsp. minced fresh basil or 1/4 tsp. dried
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
Salt to taste
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/4 grated Parmesan cheese -- my note I use a little bit more to taste

Directions

1) Heat 1 Tbls of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes and parsley and cook 3 minutes.

2) Add the rice, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and toss well. Sprinkle on 2 Tbls. Of water. Cook tossing frequently, until the rice is hot -- about 10 minutes.

3) Cut the remaining 1 Tbls. Butter into bits and mix it in with the rice. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese toss well and serve.

Skip the breadcrumb topping - it is delicious without it. I use less oil when I make it.

Or a vegetable-tofu stir-fry with rice.

For dessert, apple pie would be more difficult to make gluten-free, but apple crisp is very easy. For the topping, use certified gluten-free oats, cinnamon, a little maple syrup to bind it, a little butter or canola oil if desired. Or you could just make baked fruit with nuts and cinnamon. Or, simply fresh fruit - after traveling, fresh food is always a welcome change.
