Fool-Proof Baked Valentine Mushroom Risotto (Gluten-Free)
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Italian
Celiac.com 01/27/2023 - If you're looking for a culinary way into the heart of your Valentine, this baked mushroom risotto is sure to do the trick. This delicious risotto starts and ends like any other risotto. However, to simplify the process, this recipe skips the middle steps that involve stirring and slowly adding ingredients, and stirring. Instead just going to pop it in the oven. This makes the process much easier, and delivers a risotto that is as flavorful and delicious as the traditional method. Your valentine will never know your secret. And you'll have extra time to celebrate. Fool-Proof Baked Valentine Mushroom Risotto Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter 3 cups diced mushrooms salt to taste ½ yellow onion, diced ground black pepper to taste 1 pinch cayenne pepper 1 cup Carnaroli rice (or arborio rice) 2 cups chicken broth, divided ½ cup heavy whipping cream ½ cup chicken broth 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream ½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Melt butter in large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt, and cook and stir mushrooms until brown. They will begin browning after the moisture evaporates. Reduce heat to medium and stir in onion. Sprinkle with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until onions are translucent and soft. Pour rice into skillet and stir until each rice grain is coated with butter. Season with salt. Pour 1 cup chicken broth into the rice mixture. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring rice until liquid is completely absorbed by the rice. Pour another cup chicken stock into the rice and stir until mixture comes to a simmer. Bake in heated oven until grains are almost tender, but still slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer skillet to stovetop. Season with more salt, if necessary. Combine the remaining ½ cup chicken broth and cream; pour into the skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until rice is tender, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons cream over rice. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives; stir. Serve immediately. Note: Carnaroli rice is a type of short-grain Italian rice sometimes used in risotto dishes. While arborio rice is the best known type of rice used in risotto, especially in the U.S., many cooks prefer carnaroli rice, which, like arborio, has more starch than other types of rice. Carnaroli is prized for its extra creamy finish.-

Celiac.com 10/03/2012 - As the summer gives way, and the last summer nights begin to carry the chill of fall, the oven beckons you to give up the grill and bring your cooking inside.

SOYJOY Baked Whole Soy and Cranberry Bar
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
Celiac.com 10/10/2012 - With so many gluten-free snack bars coming onto the market nowadays, it can be hard to find one that stands out, and really deserves a spot in your snack food reserves. SOYJOY makes great baked whole soy-based gluten-free bars, and their new cranberry flavor is one of their best yet. When trying to describe the new cranberry SOYJOY, my first instinct is to compare it to a Nutri-Grain bar, just lighter and with whole dried fruit instead of a jelly filling (and no gluten, of course). I'm not usually a huge cranberry fan, but in this context, the cranberries add a very satisfying tanginess that keeps the bar from being overwhelmingly sweet. The bar also has a pleasant texture: it's both light (not overly heavy or chewy like some snack bars) and slightly moist, which is surprising given that it's made from baked soy. You can't expect to replace breakfast with these, but they are free of trans fats, low glycemic, low sodium and have 4g of protein. The ingredients list is also short and easily understood, with whole soy and dried fruit and no high fructose corn syrup. The portion control is also good, coming in at only 140 calories per bar. If you're looking for a tasty, fruity gluten-free snack to tide you over between meals, these are definitely worth a try. For more info visit their site. -
Celiac.com 02/26/2010 - I tried Mr. Krispers Sour Cream & Onion Baked Rice Krisps, which are small and thin gluten-free crackers, and I must say that they are truly outstanding…I ate the whole 4.2 oz. bag and found myself licking my fingers after they were all gone. It is really impossible to eat just one of these tasty little baked, gluten-free rice thins—actually if you can stop at half a bag your will power would be exponentially greater than mine was! This product reminds me of sour cream & onion potato chips, but the nice thing about Mr. Krispers is that they are baked instead of fried, and the ingredients include brown rice flour, so you get 1 gram of fiber per serving (4% of the “Daily Value”), or if you are like me you would get 20% of your daily fiber by eating the whole bag. My children also loved Mr. Krispers Sour Cream & Onion Baked Gluten-Free Rice Krisps, and they would make an outstanding addition to their lunch boxes. They would also be a hit at any party of other social gathering—just be sure to have dozens of bags on hand because your guests won’t be able to stop eating them!

Gory Gluten-free Bloody Baked Halloween Rats
Jefferson Adams posted an article in American & British
Want to shock and delight the kids with a little Halloween culinary gore? These bloody baked rats are just the ticket! They are basically creatively shaped meatloaf with a twist. They're easy to make, and sure to draw some excitement at the dinner table. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef ½ cup crushed Rice Chex cereal ⅓ onion, chopped 1 egg, beaten ½ cup cubed Swiss cheese (1 cube per rat) 2 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce ½ cup white sugar ½ teaspoon paprika ¼ teaspoon dried thyme ¼ teaspoon celery salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 or two uncooked gluten-free spaghetti noodles, broken into 1-inch pieces ½ carrot, cut into â…›-inch thick slices, OR round ends of one brown mushroom cut to â…›-inch thick 1 tablespoon frozen green peas Directions: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, egg, crushed Rice Chex, paprika, celery salt, thyme, and pepper. Use your hands to mix until well blended. Measure out ⅓ cupfuls of the meat mixture and mold around a cube of cheese like a meatball. I like to put the cheese more toward the front and tell the kids it’s rats brains, but use your own judgement. Shape into a point at one end with a longer body that comes to an oval at the fat end. Place each ''rat'' into a shallow baking dish, and continue with the remaining meat. In a medium bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce, and pour over the rats in the baking dish. Cover the dish and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Uncover the dish and continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes. Baste rats with sauce from time to time to form a glaze. Use a spatula to move each rat onto a plated bed of rice. Insert pieces of uncooked spaghetti into the rounded end of the rats to make tails. Press peas into the pointy end to make eyes. Use spaghetti pieces to anchor carrot or mushroom slices to make ears. Be careful to remove them, or to make sure no one eats them by accident, especially small children. Spoon tomato sauce over rats and serve over rice. Source: This recipe comes from Angela O. via Allrecipes: Halloween Bloody Baked Rats. In addition to adapting it to be gluten-free, I have taken some liberties with spices, cut down the sugar, and substituted Swiss cheese for cheddar. Enjoy! -
Celiac.com 11/15/2010 - Fermentation of wheat flour with sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases decreases the concentration of gluten in wheat. Depending on the level of hydrolyzation, gluten levels can be reduced as low as 8 parts per million. A team of researchers recently conducted a small study to assess whether people with celiac disease can eat baked goods made with wheat flour that is hydrolyzed via sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases during food processing. The team included L. Greco, M. Gobbetti, R. Auricchio, R. Di Mase, F. Landolfi, F. Paparo, R. Di Cagno, M. De Angelis, C. G. Rizzello, A. Cassone, G. Terrone, L. Timpone, M. D'Aniello, M. Maglio, R. Troncone, S. Auricchio. They are affiliated with the Department of Pediatrics and European Laboratory for the Study of Food Induced Diseases, University of Naples, Federico II in Naples Italy. The team evaluated the safety of daily administration of baked goods made from this hydrolyzed form of wheat flour for patients with celiac disease. Patients who volunteered for the study were assigned at random to consume 200 grams per day of baked goods from one of three groups. The did so every day for 60 days. The first group of six patients ate natural flour baked goods (NFBG), with a gluten content of 80,127 ppm gluten. The second group of 2 patients ate baked goods made from extensively hydrolyzed flour (S1BG), with a residual gluten content of 2,480 ppm. The third group of patients ate baked goods made from fully hydrolyzed flour (S2BG), with just 8 ppm residual gluten. In the first group, two of the six patients consuming baked goods made with natural flour (NFBG) discontinued the challenge because of adverse symptoms. All six patients in this group showed increased levels of anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies and small bowel deterioration. The two patients who ate baked goods made from extensively hydrolyzed flour (S1BG) had no clinical complaints, but biopsy showed intestinal damage in the form of subtotal villous atrophy. The five patients who ate baked goods made with made from fully hydrolyzed flour (S2BG), at just 8 ppm residual gluten had no clinical complaints. Also, they showed no increase in anti-tTG antibodies, and Marsh grades of their small intestinal mucosa showed no adverse change. Evidence with this small 60-day dietary study shows that people with celiac disease can safely consume baked goods made from fully hydrolyzed wheat flour, manufactured with sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases. This flour shows no toxicicity to patients with celiac disease. The team notes that a combined analysis of serologic, morphometric, and immunohistochemical parameters is the most accurate method to assess new therapies for this disorder. The results need to be borne out by further study, but, in the future, baked goods made with fully hydrolyzed wheat flour, manufactured with sourdough lactobacilli and fungal proteases may become another option for people with celiac disease.

Celiac.com 07/25/2017 - Enzymes are playing an increasing part in both the treatment of celiac disease, and in the manufacture of gluten-free baked goods. DSM recently showcased their new rice-based baker's enzyme, Bakezyme, at the annual meeting of Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) in Las Vegas. The product took DSM two years to develop and perfect, and promises to improve the softness and moistness of gluten-free bread. Bakezyme is so good, says DSM, and leaves gluten-free bread so soft and so moist that it can compete with wheat-based breads in texture. Designed to meet an array of manufacturer needs, Bakezyme is available in five different enzyme classes–amylase, protease, xylanase, glucose oxidase and amyloglucosidase. The version with amylase, an anti-staling enzyme, for example, will retain the softness for at least nine days. Fokke Van den Berg, DSM global business manager for baking says that Bakezyme grew out of DSM's efforts to tackle the two biggest consumer complaints about gluten-free bread, the hardness, and the dryness. While most baker's enzymes are derived from wheat, Bakezyme is made of fermentation-derived microorganisms added to rice flour, making it suitable for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Because the enzymes are deactivated during baking, Bakezyme is regarded as a processing aid and thus is not required to be listed as an ingredient. DSM tested Bakezyme on two types of dough, oat and a mixture of potato and rice, with each requiring a slightly different formulation for similar results. Beyond the slight costs of ensuring that Bakezyme is gluten-free, its overall price is on par other enzyme ingredients, partly because such a small amount is needed. One kilo of Bakezyme is enough to produce 10,000 kilos of bread. The company expects most demand to come from the US and UK as well as other European countries, but the gluten-free trend is also spreading to Brazil, Turkey and Morocco, said Van den Berg.

Did you know that Milton's Craft Bakers makes an outstanding line of gluten-free chips and crackers? I didn't, but was recently lucky enough to get to try out their Gluten-Free Himalayan Salt Baked Chips and their Gluten-Free Crispy Sea Salt Crackers. What really stood out about each of these wonderful gluten-free snacks was their lightness—since both are perfectly baked instead of fried, they tasted light, healthy, and very crunchy. The Crispy Sea Salt Crackers were perfect for dipping. I tried them with a jalapeno and artichoke dip, and they were wonderful, and I also had them with a sharp cheddar cheese on top. They seem to go great with everything, and are made with multiple grains including millet, brown rice, gluten-free oats, and corn. Likewise, the Himalayan Salt Baked Chips were similarly versatile, and were far lighter tasting than regular tortilla chips. Besides being gluten-free, the chips are also free of dairy, nut, soy, and eggs, and are made with corn, brown rice, lentils, and chick peas. Both snacks are non-GMO, Kosher, and don't contain any cholesterol. These outstanding snacks are a perfect addition to any party or event, or just to have as a snack on your own. They are gluten-free, but those who are not on a gluten-free diet will never notice this. Milton's Craft Bakers has done a great job making these wholesome, gluten-free snacks.

Gluten-Free Baked Frosted Rice Snacks By Kameda USA
Celiac.com Sponsor: Review posted an article in Product Reviews
When I heard there was a new rice snack that was crispy yet also soft enough to melt in my mouth, I had to try it. And boy am I glad I did...these snacks are awesome! Kameda USA, Inc. clearly has hit a home run with this product. These Gluten Free Baked Frosted Rice Snacks are delicately sweet. The hint of sea salt perfectly balances the creamy vanilla frosting on top. I have never tasted anything like it. These treats are not only unique and delicious, but they also are not bad for you! With only 50 calories in a package of two, you'll be able to eat as many as you want as a snack, or for dessert, and not feel guilty. They are also low in sodium, low in sugar and have no saturated fat. Another thing I like about this product is that there are 12 packages (two crisps wrapped in cellophane) in each bag. They are sure to last a long time (longer than a bag of chips) if you can manage to eat only one package a day...so far, I haven't been able to do that!

Systech Illinois to Monitor Gluten-free Baked Goods
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
Celiac.com 08/15/2014 - Systech Illinois, which makes gas analysis instruments, has struck a deal with Ultrapharm gluten-free bakery to monitor Ultrapharm’s modified atmosphere packs. Ultrapharm will use Systech’s oxygen and carbon dioxide headspace analyzer to make sure their products are properly sealed, and to test the inert packaging atmosphere for maximum shelf life. Beth Faulkner, marketing manager, Systech Illinois, told FoodProductionDaily that Ultrapharm is the first gluten-free bakery to partner with Systech for atmospheric quality assurance testing. Systech’s Gaspace Advance uses a probe that is inserted into the gas pack to measure levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The results are then shown on an LCD display. Ultrapharm opened its gluten-free baking facility in Poland in 2005. Nearly all of the company’s gluten-free products are exported from the Polish manufacturing site to Italy, Germany, France, UK and Ireland. The baking facility uses modified atmospheric packaging to extend shelf life of up to six months for its frozen breads, rolls and filled pastries and pies. Testing the modified atmospheric packs helps to assure proper shelf life, and to keep the product looking its best. Systech Illinois also produces oxygen permeation and water vapor permeation analyzers for packaging film, finished package and PET bottles. -

Just about everyone I know loves baked potatoes. And bacon. Let's face it, even the most militant vegans get weak in the knees when they get a good whiff of bacon. Bacon makes so many dishes even better. Especially baked potatoes. So imagine a warm hour that smells like bacon. Imagine taking two favorite things, baked potatoes and bacon, and turning them into a delicious, savory soup that will warm your house, entice your nose, and put happy bacon-induced smiles on the faces of your guests. This recipe delivers a soup that will do just that. Ingredients: 4 bacon slices 3 pounds baking potatoes 2 cups gluten-free chicken broth 2 cups onion, chopped 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 bay leaf 4 cups whole milk ¾ teaspoon black pepper ½ cup sliced green onions ¾ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 teaspoon salt Directions: In a large soup pot, cook bacon oven over medium heat until evenly crisp. Remove bacon from pot; crumble into a bowl and set aside. Remove pot from heat, but keep the bacon drippings in the pot. Use a fork to poke holes in the potatoes. Cover potatoes with aluminum foil, and bake at 400° F for about 1 hour or until tender when poked with a fork. Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Use a potato masher to partially mash potatoes, including skins, then set them aside. When potatoes are mashed, add onion to bacon drippings in pan, and sauté for about 5 minutes, until onion is soft. Add salt, garlic, and bay leaf, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Add potato, milk, pepper, and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Spoon soup into serving bowls and top each with bacon, green onions, and cheese. Enjoy!
