Grilled Mahi Mahi with Summer Squash Salsa (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in American & British
Celiac.com 08/19/2022 - Mahi Mahi is a great fish for the grill. This recipe pairs grilled mahi mahi with a simple, tasty salsa made with summer squash. It's a great way to enjoy the fruits of summer and the sea fresh from the grill. Ingredients: 1 yellow zucchini or yellow squash Kosher salt 2 tomatoes, diced ½ red onion, finely chopped ½ jalapeño pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat) Juice of 2 limes ⅔ cup packed fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems), chopped 1½ teaspoons ground cumin 1½ teaspoons ground coriander 8 skinless mahi mahi or striped bass fillets (about 6 ounces each) Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing Freshly ground pepper Directions: Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice with a knife or mandolin. Transfer to a colander set over a bowl and toss with ½ teaspoon salt. Let drain 15 minutes. Combine the zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice and half of the cilantro in a bowl. Set aside 1 hour. Heat a grill to medium high. Mix the cumin and coriander in a small bowl. Brush the fish all over with olive oil, then rub with the spice mixture and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the fish until it is well marked and releases easily from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish and continue cooking until firm, 2 to 4 more minutes, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a platter. Stir the remaining cilantro into the zucchini mixture and season with salt. Spoon over the fish. -

Celiac.com 01/19/2019 - Want to blow some minds, turn some heads, and please some hungry eaters? These pulled pork quesadillas are just the thing to rock your Super Bowl Party or your next big potluck. They are guaranteed to disappear and have people asking for the recipe. Ingredients: 1 package Kirkland Signature Pulled Pork (or other plain, gluten-free pulled pork--32 ounces) 2 dozen gluten-free corn tortillas, fried crisp 1 medium head of green cabbage, finely shredded 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded 1 cup cilantro, minced 1 cup cooking oil Miracle Whip, Kewpie, or a gluten-free version* Apple Cider vinegar Sugar, to taste Salt, to taste Black pepper, to taste 4 large, ripe avocados 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 3 cups gluten-free Pico de Gallo, or other fresh salsa Gluten-free hot sauce, as desired Directions: First, you’re going to blend the shredded cabbage and carrot, sugar, Miracle Whip (or other), cider vinegar, salt and pepper to make good old fashioned coleslaw. If you already have a favorite coleslaw recipe, you can make that. Here's a simple coleslaw recipe, just in case. Make slaw ahead of time, and set aside. Drain off any excess moisture from the coleslaw before serving. The next thing you’ll do is make guacamole from the avocados. Here’s a recipe for great guacamole, although, I'd omit the cilantro for this dish. Alternatively, you can put the peeled and pitted avocados in a bowl, mash them up, and stir in a bit of pico de Gallo, lemon juice and salt. Fresh tortillas work best for this dish, but you can use pre-made in a pinch. If making fresh tortilla crisps, begin by heating cooking oil in deep pan. Cook one tortilla at a time, turning as needed. When tortillas are crisp and golden brown, remove to paper towel on a plate. Cook remaining tortillas. Heat pulled pork in small batches, as needed. When tortillas are all cooked and pulled pork is heated, it’s time to make tostadas. To make tostadas, place one crisp tortilla shell on a plate, and top with guacamole, then coleslaw. Add cilantro, pulled pork, salsa and hot sauce as desired. Enjoy! *Miracle Whip is not labeled gluten-free, but it contains no gluten ingredients, and is well tolerated by many folks with celiac disease. If you prefer, you can make your own using gluten-free mayonnaise, cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, and dried garlic powder. Start with the mayo, then add sugar and other ingredients one by one, until you reach your desired taste.- 2 comments

Celiac.com 09/08/2018 - On a recent trip to Hawaii I was often attracted to a particular entrée on the menu of several restaurants. It went by many different names, but basically the dish was fish dredged in a mixture of spices and pulverized nuts to produce a chunky crust. Since Hawaii is the home of macadamia nuts, this popular nut was often used. I love fish and I’m very fond of macadamia nuts, so I was particularly enticed by this entrée but I was wary because I know that many chefs like to use panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and add flour to such mixtures even though it isn’t absolutely necessary and is often not mentioned in the entrée’s description on the menu. So, I found myself engaged in a very typical conversation with the waiter. It went something like this: Me: I’m wondering about the nut mixture used to coat the fish. Is there wheat flour or bread crumbs in it? Waiter: I don’t know, but I’ll check with the chef and let you know. Me to husband: I better choose another entrée just in case he/she comes back with bad news. Waiter: The chef says there is (flour or bread crumbs or both) mixed in with the nuts and spices. Sorry. Me: That’s fine. Thanks for checking on that for me. Instead, I’ll have the… After I returned from this otherwise fabulous trip, I vowed to create my version of this entrée so I could have it at home whenever I wanted. I will share it here with you, but first a little background on macadamia nuts. Macadamia Nuts Though expensive, macadamia nuts are a treat and Hawaii is well known for this delicious nut. If macadamia nuts are too expensive or not available in your area, you can use slivered almonds instead. Despite their sometimes “bad” reputation, nuts offer important nutrients and good, healthy fat. But the real reason I was attracted to this dish was the crunchy texture that is so important to me in my gluten-free diet. The best way to crush the macadamia nuts is to put them in a small coffee grinder or food processor and grind just until they reach a coarsely chopped stage. Don’t grind them any further or you might end up with “mush” instead of pulverized nuts. To prevent the nuts from sticking together, I grind them with a small amount of cornstarch. Some of you may never have traveled to Hawaii. Others, like me, may not get a chance to return to Hawaii for a long time but at least we can bring a little bit of the islands to our dinner table with this tempting dish. Macadamia-Crusted Snapper with Pineapple Salsa Ingredients: 4 fish fillets (red snapper, mahi mahi, or firm-flesh fillets--about 6 ounces each) 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon paprika, plus some for dusting 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 cup coarsely ground macadamia nuts or almonds (ground with ¼ cup cornstarch) Additional salt and pepper to taste Salsa Ingredients: 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro ¼ cup finely diced red onion 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon rice vinegar 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and finely diced ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon sugar Directions: At least an hour before dinner, combine all of the salsa ingredients in a small serving bowl, cover, and let sit at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet large enough to hold the fish fillets side by side and at least 2 inches apart. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil or you may line the pan with aluminum oil and lightly coat with cooking spray. Grind the nuts and cornstarch together. Evenly spread the nut mixture on a large dinner plate. Combine remaining 3 tablespoons of the oil, ginger, coriander, and paprika. Brush each filet with this mixture; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in the nuts, pressing mixture on fish with your fingers to cover it evenly on both sides. Gently transfer fish to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with a dusting of paprika. Bake fish fillets until they are cooked through and the nut crust is golden brown, anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes or more depending on the thickness of the fish. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with 1/3 cup of Pineapple Salsa per serving. Serves 4. You don’t have to save this nut crust for fish. It works great on chicken fillets, too. Plan ahead by grinding more nuts than you need then freezing the remainder. That way, it’s just a simple step to mix in the necessary spices or whatever else the recipe calls for. -

Grilled Avocados with Fresh Salsa (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Mexican & Spanish
Grilled fruit is a culinary calling card of summer. Grilled avocados are a fun, tasty treat; by leaving the skin on all you’ll need is a spoon to dig right in! The salsa combines with the soft, smoky flesh of the avocado in one magnificent bite after another. Take advantage of the plentiful avocados this season and experiment with different fillings; adding seafood makes for a heartier side dish or appetizer. Ingredients: 4 large firm avocados 1 can whole peeled tomatoes 2 small Serrano chilies, seeded and roughly chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 cup fresh cilantro 2-3 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons olive oil Juice from 2 limes, plus zest Pepper to taste Directions: Combine tomatoes, chilies, garlic, cilantro, lime zest and salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and chill in the refrigerator. In another small bowl, combine olive oil and lime juice. Slice avocados in half and discard seeds. Brush each half with oil and lime mixture and place flesh side down on a preheated grill, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from grill and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fill hole with fresh salsa. Garnish with any remaining cilantro and serve.
