grain free food Archives - Positively Gilly

Prior to going grain free, I took a cooking class at Sur La Table and indulged in the most magnificent berry galette. Although I knew it would be difficult, I wanted to try my hand at a Grain Free Berry Galette. Let me tell you. IT’S SO GOOD.

HEADS UP: this dessert takes a lot of patience. The crust is very fragile before it bakes but then it turns into an incredibly successful and delicious dream.

If you were to make this with a normal crust, you’d roll out the dough on a cutting board and then transfer to the cookie sheet. For this recipe, I would highly recommend trying your best to flatten out the dough directly on the prepared baking sheet. If you try to do it elsewhere, you will find it extremely difficult to transfer the dough onto the baking sheet without it breaking.

I used to love going to Hibachi (a restaurant where they cook food in front of you), especially for the fried rice. A grain free diet means no rice, so I discovered my new love for Cauliflower Fried Rice.

Cauliflower rice is a much lighter alternative to white/brown rice. Similarly, replacing cauliflower rice provides an extra serving of veggies where a starch would usually be.

This dish is so simple to make, particularly if you purchase the fresh riced cauliflower from Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. Still, you can purchase a full head of cauliflower, cut off the florets, and either use a box grater or a food processor to create the rice. With the box grater, you would grate the florets like you would grate cheese.

All you need for this one pan recipe is cauliflower, garlic, green peas, carrots, eggs, and soy sauce. You can add more ingredients (like onions) or remove ingredients as desired; it’s very customizable. I purchased a bag of fresh riced cauliflower and frozen peas from Trader Joe’s and kept them in the freezer until I was ready to use them.

If you are looking to avoid gluten (or grains), be careful what soy sauce you use. I used Tamari Gluten Free Soy Sauce, but a lot of soy sauces contain wheat so make sure to check the ingredients list if you’re gluten conscious….
