3 Recipes for Gluten-Free Sourdough Discard

Image
3 yummy recipes made from gluten-free sourdough discard and 2 other gluten-free flours. Sourdough bread has a number of healthy attributes, as we likely all know from our experimentation during the Pandemic Pause.  This time around we are working with a gluten-free starter (1/4 cup of brown rice and 2 tablespoons of filtered water--tap water has chemicals that can slow down the starter).  I take out 1/2 of the starter each morning, and then feed it again. I also feed it in the evening before going to bed. The portion of starter I remove-- the "discard"-- I either put into the fridge or I use it to make something.  GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH FOR EVERYONE Amazon Associate The following three recipes are a great way to use up the day's discard in a delicious, gluten-free, vegan way.  Gluten-free, vegan, Lemon-Ginger Pancakes (Firefly generated)   1.

Warm German Potato Salad

Warm German Potato Salad My husband's mother was German from Silesia.  His favourite food in the world is German Potato Salad. The recipe here is a contribution from the Alberni Veg Supper Club's recipe collection for May 23, 2019 (see more details under the recipe).  We made it up last night for supper and it was a big hit.  I have to report that we ate it AS supper, so that should justify our eating about 8 of the 12 servings? This is a vegan version of the traditional German Potato Salad.  Instead of 'real' bacon bits, the recipe calls for Tempeh (a vegan product that is a mix of both soy and wheat proteins).  We think that Ed's mom fried up the onions in butter, but this recipe uses Extra Virgin Olive Oil. (EVOO)  We cheated a bit on the Tempeh crumbles (a recipe included here) when we came across Smoky Tempeh in the organic cooler at our local Walmart.  You might find it there as well (yes, shocking I know!)  I used ...
