Hey there! Could anyone tell me where I can get gluten-free hollandaise or an easy recipe how to make it? Thanks!

Real hollandaise is a bit of a tricky thing to make. It's much easier to make if you've got somebody else showing you. If you make it a few times, you'll get the hang of it. It takes me about 10 minutes in all.

Hollandaise sauce

1 egg yolk

1/2 teaspoon water

3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled to barely warm

fresh lemon juice

Make this just before you need it.

First, you're going to need a bain-marie, an improvised double boiler. This will be a small stainless steel bowl that fits in a small pot you will fill with water and bring to a simmer. Put the egg yolk and water in the bowl, whisk, and set over the simmering water. Immediately lower the temperature to very low. If you have an electric stove you'll be better using two burners preset at the desired temperature. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken slightly. Then slowly dribble in the melted butter, whisking, and continue to whisk until the sauce is almost as thick as mayonnaise. Immediately remove from over the hot water, add lemon juice to taste, and add salt if it needs more. Serve immediately. Serves 2.

I can't tolerate butter (too much casein) or margarine (corn, safflower etc intolerance). Can you make hollandaise with olive oil instead? It's my favourite sauch for fish and I really miss it.

Any oil will do but olive oil is a bit strong for the hollandaise taste ... I would try a very mild olive oil and perhaps 1/2 and 1/2 with grape-seed or a very light oil.

I usually use a cup inside a saucepan and keep an oven glove on and regulate the temp by taking it in/out of the just below boiling water... and I use the same trick as eKatherine with using 2 rings .... and I have to say its easier to watch someone than describe it, you don't need to whisk anywhere as hard as making mayo or aioli but you do need to keep it constantly moving... a proper pint glass (heat treated) is also a easy way becasue it sticks out making it easy to take it out of the water if it starts going too fast.

If it goes wrong ... you can put aside the mix and take another egg yolk and start again and then slowly add the stuff you put aside... its really not hard, just like riding a bike its just a knack but it is very practice/experience based.

The hollandaise is also a base for bearnaise and palaise ... for beef and lamb

You can make hollandaise from clarified butter. Gently heat it until all the water evaporates, then filter out the milk solids through a paper filter.

Unfortunately, I get sick even from clarified butter. I guess there is traces of casein left. I'll try the half mild olive oil/half grape seed. Gluten free etc has been good in that it has forced me to learn to cook.

I'm still pretty new at cooking (3 months) and this recipe looks ambitious - but hollandaise is SOOOO good that I'll give it a try.

Just keep in mind that if you make it with olive and/or other vegetable oils, it's going to be mayonnaise, not hollandaise. But on the plus side, if you're not using butter, you won't need to cook it. I suggest looking up a recipe for blender mayonnaise.

Yes, I haven't tried the olive/grapeseed mix... I am just guessing it will be very heavy with olive oil... mostly my mayo I make thick and 'olivy' but people who are used to commerical "mayo" perhaps find it over powering.

Its all a question of taste but in many cases I use a more vinegary or lemon mayo to serve with asparagus and parma for instance ... in these cases they are somewhat interchangable... and its really just a hot/cold question

The thing with mayo and hollandaise it they are actually really easy once you have the knack.... you just need to know when to add more oil/butter by feel. I wonder who first discovered this ... what were they trying to make at the time? I imagine some caveman with a egg yolk and some oil or butter thinking hmm... that would be nice...

I make my mayonnaise with pure olive oil, not extra virgin. Tastes great on asparagus, boiled eggs, tomatoes...

I experimented for you :D

Last night I had lamb with a paloise sauce (like a bearnaise but with mint instead of tarragon) and I used a light 100% sunflour oil (I did however pre-fry the shallots in butter) and it turned out great....

I think the trick is to use the Hollandaise variations like bearnaise to substitute the butter part so that the rest of the sauce makes up for the butter flavor.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
