Gluten Free Dairy Free Vegan Pizzas!

It can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to make party style snack foods on a gluten free dairy free diet...but I think we hit the jackpot with these:



The bases were made using Hale & Hearty Quick & Easy Pizza Mix which is by far the best gluten free mix we have tried (and we have tried quite a few...in the name of research of course ;-)). We made up the mix, rolled out and cut into 3 inch circles with scone cutters. The circles were then topped with tomato paste, some dried Italian herbs and grated Mozzarella style Cheezly then sliced tomatoes and sauteed courgette & red onion. Cooked for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees and voila - delicious mini pizzas without a sniff of gluten or casein.

Yum yum.

Gluten Free Cornmeal Hush Puppies

I think I have been neglecting the edible side of this blog for a while, so thought I would share this recipe with you.  These are pretty yummy!



Gluten and Dairy Free Cornmeal Hush Puppies

1 onion, very finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

1 cup unsweetened soya milk

1 cup coarse cornmeal

1 cup gluten free flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

good grind of pepper

pinch of chilli powder

Simply mix everything together until you have a fairly smooth batter.  You may need to add a little extra soya milk.

Heat some oil in a frying pan or skillet and drop ladlefuls of the mixture into the pan.  Cook for a few of minutes on each side until they are nice and golden and puffy.  Keep warm while you fry the rest.

Makes about 8, depending on size.

Serve with something nice and spicy :-)
