    Zucchini and Tomato Gratin (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    I’m hard pressed to find any food that isn’t made better by adding melted cheese. Gratins are a great way to serve up a variety of vegetable and traditional gratins, which typically contain breadcrumbs and flour, are easily adaptable to better suit a gluten-free diet. I love dishes that encourage variation.

    I use sharp cheddar and Parmesan because the saltiness mingles with the sweet tomatoes, and melts into bites of dichotomous perfection. Experiment with different cheeses to explore different flavor combinations. A more sophisticated version might include smoked Gouda or creamy butternut squash.

    Ingredients:
    4 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch thick half-moons
    5 plum tomatoes, chopped and seeded
    1 medium onion, diced
    4 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 large eggs beaten
    3 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon light brown sugar
    1 ½ tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
    1 ½ tablespoon fresh chopped rosemary
    2 teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons pepper
    ¾ cup cream
    ½ cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese, divided
    ½ cup Parmesan cheese, divided

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 375° F and butter a large baking dish.

    Melt butter in a large pan. Sauté onions until they become translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add zucchini and tomatoes and continue to cook until vegetables soften and incorporate with onions and garlic. Fold in thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Gently pour vegetables into the baking dish and set aside.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar and cream. Stir in remaining salt and pepper. Pour half the mixture over vegetables and sprinkle with half of each cheese. Repeat with remaining mixture and cheese.

    Bake for 30-40 minutes until gratin is a golden brown cheese is well melted.

    While a succulent roasted pork loin often conjures memories of a warm and festive holiday meal, the citrus in this dish is refreshing and brings together any meal throughout the year. I love pairing zesty citrus with a savory cut of meat. The combination of the rind on the lemon slices and the salty prosciutto is truly vibrant.
    Great for 4-6 guests, you can easily put your own spin on the dish by substituting vegetables. Cherry tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant would also be great; it’s the bold flavor exuded by a roasted vegetable that make it a great side to the pork.
    Ingredients:
    1 3-pound boneless pork loin
    5 ounces thin prosciutto slices, about 10
    1 medium lemon, sliced very thinly
    1 pound asparagus, trimmed
    1 red bell pepper, julienned
    1 orange bell pepper, ...

    Salmon season is nearly upon us here in northern California, so those blessed to live here, or somewhere else where good salmon is available can look forward to a summer of delicious fish.
    Good salmon is one of this treats that can stand on its own merits with little or no adornment. In summer, I like to put salmon steak or fillet on the grill with a few good veggies. It's an easy dish to make, and one that pairs nicely with rice for a lean, nutritious meal. Here's a delicious way to grill salmon:
    Ingredients:
    1½ pounds salmon steaks or fillets
    ½ teaspoon fresh ground ginger
    2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
    ⅓ cup gluten-free soy sauce
    ⅓ cup orange juice
    ¼ cup honey
    2 green onions, chopped
    Directions:
    1. In a glass dish, or a large resealable plastic bag, m...

    In a good year, Spring means fresh, wild salmon, and 2011 looks to be a good year for this king among fish.
    One of my favorite breakfast dishes is this variation on Eggs Benedict that some call Dutch Benedict.  If you're thinking about whipping up some Hollandaise sauce for your Mother's Day Benedict, consider this savory variation that uses smoked wild salmon in lieu of ham or canadian bacon.
    Ingredients:
    4 gluten-free English muffins
    8 eggs, poached
    8 ounces smoked wild Salmon
    1 teaspoon cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon chives as garnish
    1 teaspoon paprika (garnish)
    Hollandaise sauce (see below)
    Butter (optional)
    Directions:
    Prepare the Super Easy Hollandaise as below and set aside, keeping warm.
    Brown the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high ...
