Green Chili

Recently, I made Green Chili from Elizabeth Gordon's book, Simply Allergy-Free.  It was so easy and delicious!  It's not spicy at all unless you add jalapenos. 

Ingredients:
3# pork shoulder, cubed
1 28 oz. can green tomatillos, crushed (I crushed mine by hand since they were whole)
1 4 oz can chopped green chilis
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 t. cumin powder
1 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. salt
limes and jalapenos for serving

Instructions:
Place meat, chilis, onion, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and salt in the slow cooker and toss to coat.  Add the crushed tomatillos and cover.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  I used my potato masher to shred up the meat. 

Serve over white rice or soaked and cooked white beans. 

It's great leftover, too!

Spritz Cookies




I recently tried making Vanessa Romero's Spritz Cookies.  Although they were delicious, they completely flattened in the oven!  After a little experimentation, this is the recipe I came up with using hers as my inspiration.  Thank you, Vanessa, for bringing a childhood favorite back to my family! 






Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 c. Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1 1/8 c. Gluten-Free Flour Blend
  • 1/4 c. Unmodified Potato Starch
  • 1/2 tsp. Aluminum-Free Baking Powder
  • 1/2 c. Butter, Softened
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar (Vanessa writes that she prefers Swerve or Birch Xylitol for sugar-free.)
  • 1 pastured egg
  • 1 Tbsp. Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 3/4 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
  • Granulated Sugar for topping (I haven't tried these yet, but I love that they're naturally colored.)
Tools:
  • Cookie Press
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silpat
  • Spray Bottle filled with purified water
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  2. In a bowl, blend almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, potato starch, and baking powder.
  3. In your standing mixer, cream together butter and sugar or sugar-free sweetener. 
  4. To the creamed butter, add egg, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  5. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture until combined.  You want the consistency of your dough to be firm, almost as firm as a cookie dough, but not so firm that it won't push through your cookie press.
  6. Fill the cookie press with the dough and press cookies onto a baking sheet.  (I use a Silpat).
  7. Bake for about 10 minutes.  You want the cookies to just barely start turning brown on the bottom.
  8. After removing the cookies from the oven, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.  
  9. Spritz each cookie with water and then sprinkle with granulated sugar.
These cookies freeze really well.

DIY Gunk Remover

http://www.rosybluhandmade.com/2012/03/05/diy-gunk-remover-easy-recipe-to-remove-sticky-adhesive-residue/

Blueberry Scones

Based on Colette Martin's Blueberry Scones recipe in Learning to Bake Allergy-Free.

1 1/4 . GF oat flour
1 1/2 c. GF Flour Blend
1/2 t. xanthan gum
3 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 pastured eggs
1/4 c. coconut oil
1/2 c. milk, soured milk, or coconut milk
1 T. lemon juice
1 c. blueberries

  1. Blend dry ingredients
  2. Blend wet ingredients
  3. Add the dry to the wet. Add water, if needed.
  4. Fold in blueberries.
  5. Gently flour hands and baking sheet (I used my silpat).  Press dough onto surface and work into a flat circle - like a giant biscuit - until about 1/2" thick.  Cut into wedges and bake in that shape.
  6. Bake at 350 F for 20-30 minutes.
Next time, I plan to use more lemon juice and some zest. 

Gluten-Free Flour Blend

This recipe is from Colette Martin's Learning to Bake Allergy-Free.


1 c. white rice flour
1/2 c. tapioca starch
1/2 c. potato starch

Blend thoroughly.  Add xanthan gum (if needed) at the time of baking, since it does not blend evenly in flour mixture.

Even easier:
Blend very well two (24 oz.) bags of White Rice Flour, one bag Tapioca Starch, and one bag Potato Starch
There is less Tapioca Starch doing it this way, but I've found the blend works great in my recipes and it's much more convenient.

Shortcakes and Biscuits

This recipe for is based on Elizabeth Gordon's Shortcakes recipe in Simple Allergy-Free. Although her recipe is for shortcakes, it works very well for biscuits as well.  Since I didn't have any sorghum flour on hand, I used tapioca starch instead and it worked beautifully.  And since canola oil is not healthy, I used coconut oil.   

Ingredients

2 c. rice flour
2/3 c. potato starch
1/3 c. sorghum flour (I used tapioca flour which is also called starch)
 2 5/8 t. xanthan gum
1 T. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
2 T. sugar
1 c. coconut milk kefir (I used plain coconut milk - full fat)
1 c. water
1/3 c. canola oil (I used coconut oil since canola is not  healthy for us)
1/4 c. applesauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

1. Blend dry ingredients together.
2. In a separate bowl, blend wet ingredients together.
3. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients all at once and blend well. 
4. Make into 1/2 c. balls and flatten them.  (I baked them on my silpat.) Bake for 20 minutes.

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

We use these popsicle molds.

Ingredients:
Raw Milk Yogurt
Strawberry Jam

Instructions:

Fill mold 1/4 way with yogurt, then a thin later of jam.  Repeat until mold is full.  Take a butter knife and slide through the layers to make the layers blend slightly, but not completely.  Freeze 6-12 hours.

Alternatively, you can use any fresh, pureed fruit.

Inspired by these popsicles.

Raw Milk Yogurt (Slow Cooker Method)

Ingredients:
8 T. plain yogurt, either from a previous batch or store-bought unflavored/plain with live cultures, like this
Supplies:
Pot
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons

Instructions:
Be sure to find a bowl that just fits inside your slow cooker. A 2.5 qt Pyrex mixing bowl just fits inside a standard 5 qt crock pot.
  1. Fill the crock with warm water, approximately one third full.  
  2. Test the amount of water by placing the mixing bowl in the water and make sure it does not overflow from the crock pot, then remove it. 
  3. Place the lid on crock pot and turn on to the "keep warm" setting.
  4. Now, place the mixing bowl on top of a pot of water over medium heat (double boiler method). Fill the bowl with 2 quarts raw milk. Heat gently, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the milk is heating, place 4 tablespoons of yogurt in a glass container. I like to use a glass Pyrex measuring cup.
  6. When the milk reaches 110F degrees, remove from heat, add approximately 1 cup of warm milk to the yogurt in the Pyrex measuring cup, and stir until combined.  (It doesn't matter how much milk you add, just so long as it is enough to mix the yogurt in thoroughly; this step helps ensure that the yogurt blends into the milk properly.)
  7. Add this mixture back into the large Pyrex bowl of heated milk and stir.
  8. Turn off the slow cooker and remove the lid.  Then place the bowl gently into the slow cooker, taking care not to get water into the yogurt. Replace the lid and wrap the slow cooker in a towel or blanket.
  9. Allow yogurt to culture for 8 hours or more. The longer it cultures, the more tart it will be.
  10. Optional: Raw milk yogurt tends to be runnier than regular yogurt; for thicker yogurt, place cheese cloth in a large mesh strainer or colander and pour the yogurt in. Place this over a bowl and place in the refrigerator.  Allow whey to drain until desired consistency is reached. The whey can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. 
  11. You can then flavor with maple syrup or honey, pureed fruit, or whatever you like.

Rootbeer Float Popsicles

Ingredients:
Popsicle Molds
Coconut Milk

2 bottles Virgil's Diet Rootbeer

Instructions:
Fill popsicle molds about 1/4 to 1/3 full with coconut milk, then top with rootbeer, leaving about 1/2 inch head space because it will expand.  Freeze about 3-6 hours.   

Inspired by these popsicles.

Strawberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Dairy-free and delicious!  If you prefer non-chunky strawberry ice cream, you could strain the strawberry puree with a cheesecloth or mesh strainer.
 



Ingredients:
3 cups coconut milk (or raw cow's milk)
4 pastured egg yolks
1/3 cup maple syrup (grade B is best for nutrient value)
1 Tablespoons vanilla extract
1 (16 oz) bag of organic frozen strawberries (thawed), or 1 lb of cleaned, organic strawberries, pureed


Instructions:
Blend egg yolks.
Add maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut milk and blend more. 
Pour into ice cream maker. 
When nearly done, add strawberry puree until well blended. 
Serve immediately. 

Freeze leftovers (if there are any!), but keep in mind that it takes a while to thaw coconut milk ice cream.

Strawberry Freezer Jam (Sweetened with White Grape Juice)


Ingredients:
16 c. already-hulled and mashed strawberries*
3 c. white grape juice
4 1/2 T. low-sugar pectin
(optional: 3 c. raw honey)

Supplies:
25 - 8 oz jelly jars with lids and bands
canning funnel
large stock pot
potato masher
tongs

Instructions:
In a small saucepan, simmer lids in water. 

In a large stockpot, blend mashed strawberries and white grape juice.  Gradually stir in pectin. 

Bring the mixture to a boil that cannot be stirred down. 

Turn heat off.  Ladel the hot mixture into the jelly jars.  Remove the lids from the hot water with tongs and place on top of each jar.  Screw bands finger-tight on jars.  Let cool to room temperature.  Listen for the lids to seal.  Place the jars in the freezer when totally cooled.    

Read here about the pros and cons of freezer jam. 
* We picked 24 pounds of berries, and froze a one gallon freezer bag full of them.  The rest we used for the jam.
