Flour Blend To Use In An Oven Baked Stew For Tomorrow

I'm putting together a dinner kit for a pregnant friend for a beef stew that is baked covered on low temp. for 4 hrs. in the oven. I've made the recipe before many times(before gluten-free) but it's been a while and I won't be there to make it or eat it. She'll just dump everything into the roaster at home. That's where the reassurance part comes in. ;) It calls for some flour mixed with the liquid then put in the roaster with the other ingredients and covered and baked low and slow. That's where the advice comes in. I am debating between featherlight and Bob's. I use the Bob's in sauces alot but I don't want them(non-gluten-eaters) to tase a funky bean taste. The thing I'm wondering about the featherlight is the starches, if they will thicken up too soon, once the liquids come to a simmer? I also have sorghum flour but wonder if they will taste that unfamiliar flavor ? Maybe I should just leave it out? I don't remember what I did last time. :(

I've just used white rice flour or brown rice flour by itself mixed well with a liquid before adding to to recipe without a problem. Last weekend I had to use Pamela's baking mix for an emergency substitution for a gravy thickener--I was sure it wouldn't work but had no other options at my mom's house, so I mixed a few tbs well with water and added it, and it worked amazingly!! I would agree with you regarding the Bob's--if they're not used to it, it probably would taste funny.

My MIL's 5-hour stew recipe calls for regular tapioca (not the flour), she's not gluten-free.

Tried some Bob's Biscuit and Baking mix for cookies and they tasted a bit odd and noticeably had a different texture than my pre-gluten-free cookie recipes. I love their Mighty Tasty hot cereal but I will be trying Pamela's baking mix and something the fiance bought at Whole Foods in my next experiments. I've had good luck with plain ol' cornstarch in stews. It's what my mom always used so I guess my family is used to it by now!

I find that just by adding potatoes to the stew it thickens without needing flour. Sometimes I also add quinoa to soak up some of the extra water, but it's really the starch from the potatoes that makes the remaining water thick.

Here's my recipe (I don't measure, just dump n taste!):

sauteed onions & garlic

meat (beef cubes usually but short ribs also work and I've even used ground meat in a pinch)

potatoes (1-1.5 per person)

carrots (one for every 2 people)

zuchinni

mushrooms

dash of soy sauce

cup of uncooked quioa (presoaked & rinsed if I have time) (usually leave out, but sooo good!)

tomato paste (sometimes I leave out, If I use I also use a dash of brown sugar, red wine vinegar &/or red wine)

black pepper

salt

paprika

water to cover

cook in crockpot on high for an hour, then on low for 10-12 or one the stovetop: bring to a boil then reduce to low stirring occasionally until meat is tender, at least 4 hours. In the oven (I put into a deep roasting dish in a crockpot liner) on 300 for 4-5 hours.

bon appetit!

you could add bell peppers, celery, etc, but we're not fans here at chez pickle.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
