Allergen Free Recipes

My lovely GF has reaction to wheat, soy, milk and eggs so keeping a varied and interesting diet can be difficult but I think we do quite well. I'm sure there are other people in similar situations so I was going to post some of the recipes I try. Shes ok with nuts but I'll mark that clearly if I use them

I just tend to throw things together so the recipe structure might not be great

Last one was Sweet and Sour Chicken in batter.

Batter
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup cornflour
1.5 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon chilli powder
Salt
330ml wheat free beer
4 minced garlic cloves

Mix together, leave stand for 2 hours
[this made a bit too much but I didn't mind as dipping was easier than having too little]

Sauce
1 onion chopped very finely
150mls rice vinegar
150mls orange juice
Add ketchup until the vinegar is bareable(I find cooking really weakens the sour)
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon brown sugar
We throw in peppers and broccoli too

Fry onions until soft
Add the rest and simmer until it thickens a bit
The cornflour gives it a creamy look and I find it goes a bit clearer when ready

Chicken
I use 2 x large fillets for this amount

I chopped it into thin strips, dipped it into the batter and deep fried in small batches. Once the batter darkened, the chicken was done.

Once all the chicken was done, I stirred it into the sauce.

My OH loved it as did I

Delighted with the batter too as its the first batter that's worked well and the OH loves onion rings so I'll try it with that soon

Hope this will be of interest to people
