klmama Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) I am serving dinner to a group of people with a variety of special food needs. If possible, I'd like to make a meal that won't chance cross contamination by having these available as add ons, as some are true allergies, and some of the guests are children. No gluten/wheat, pork, tomato, cheese, nuts, oats, mangos, peas, spinach, dried fruit, or slow-cooked foods. I like the Spanish omelette idea I read in another thread. Any other ideas? Is there a recipe website with a way to input ingedients to avoid? Thanks. Edited March 5, 2019 by klmama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonflower Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 rice, cod with lemon and basil, roasted or steamed with olive oil and salt any vegetable not on the list (asparagus, broccoli, whatever) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Fried rice can be made without those ingredients. You would need to use gluten free soy sauce. (LaChoy is gluten free.) As for the rest of the meal, I don't know. It's early here and my brain is not yet fully functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Chicken or beef stir fry with rice Chicken breasts, rice and broccoli or green beans Roast beef (just avoid gravy thickened with roux-- maybe use cornstarch instead), mashed potatoes and broccoli or green beans. Quote Once you've deglazed your roasting pan and added stock, transfer about 1 cup stock mixture to a medium bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until smooth (you'll need 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch for every cup of gravy base in the pan). Return slurry to gravy base in roasting pan and whisk over medium-low heat until thickened and smooth. https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/how-to/article/gluten-free-gravy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 what about roast chicken or turkey with baked potatoes? How many people are you cooking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Pretty sure the NY Times' oven-roasted chicken shawarma recipe fits these requirements. You can add rice, vegetables or a romaine salad, and yogurt to go along with it. I'd post a link but the site is behind a paywall and I am out of free views right now. (I think 5 a month?) But if you google it you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I’d do a meal where each component is separate. Obviously flavor everything, but that way, it’s all simple with minimal ingredients. So fish/chicken + vegetable + rice or potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks for the suggestions! I don't know why I didn't think of these things that we eat all the time! And you are right that separate components are a good idea - they might go over better with the kids, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Is it just cheese but not other milk products? Roast chicken with tarragon pan sauce, rice to soak up the sauce, veggie or salad Burgers with no buns, lentil salad, cole slaw, maybe some buttered corn for the less adventurous, or just good old chips Lemon chicken thighs (great recipe ), tater tots, veggie or salad Salmon with a glaze (I just mix a bit of honey or orange marmalade with GF soy sauce and pinch of ginger), sauteed rice noodles or just rice, veggies Chicken and rice soup with GF cornbread Beef tacos with cheese and other toppings on the side. I feel like cheese is a lot less of a risk than flour in terms of contamination. Black bean bowls- seasoned black beans served with rice, corn, sour cream, salsa, avocado... cheese on the side also. Tuna or salmon cakes using GF breadcrumbs, salad, sweet potato fries or mash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 This all sounds delicious! Yes, it's all dairy, not just cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
