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.

It was a popular recipe for dinner parties in the 70s when so many people had begun to holiday in Hawaii and wanted to recreate that lovely experience. I veganized the conventional  recipe using soy curls and it was a big hit at a weekend potluck. Looking at it now, makes me want to make it again this weekend. For that reason, I am quickly taking down the recipe instructions before I forget them! As mentioned, this is "family-friendly" which at our house i...

Tabulleh with Chick'n Crumbles

  Tabulleh with Chick'n Crumbles - A refreshingplant-based version of a popular Middle Eastern salad Who doesn't remember the minty-lemony refreshing surprise of their first spoonful of Taboulleh? Not surprising that the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon claims it as one of its most popular dishes world-wide.  In the simplest terms, it is a salad made from bulgur or cracked wheat soaked in lemon juice and olive oil and stuffed with fresh herbs, like chopped mint and parsley (or cilantro) and topped with veggies like cucumber, onion, and tomato, a pleasant mix of spices, chopped nuts or seeds, and sometimes chicken mince is fried up and mixed in. We have veganized the salad and are including a crumble made from soy curls (recipe below) although it would work well with other faux chicken meat or tofu crumbles.
