[recipe request] Wheat or gluten-free stuffing?

November 26, 2004

Does anyone here have a good recipe for vegetarian

wheat-free stuffing? At the Thanksgiving dinner

yesterday there was a young lady that has serious

environmental allergies, and one of her main allergies

was wheat gluten. Our hostess had suggested i

bring a few organic vegetarian dishes in hopes she

could eat them, but she forgot to mention the

wheat-free aspect. For next year or for the next

gathering we have i would lke to make a wheat-free

dressing/stuffing she could eat. Thanks!

I have a mushroom based stuffing - not sure what kind of " bread " is

in it. There are soy flour and rice flour breads..... (let you know

on Monday - I don't visit the computer on the weekend.)

I'd say get some wheat-free bread and let it dry out a couple of days

prior to making the dressing. It's easy to make your own

breadcrumbles for stuffing:) You can let them dry out naturally or

bake in a very low heat oven to speed the process:)

hi pt

rice and corn are for sure gluten free. i wouldn't

use soy because that's a common allergin. you could

make a cornbread stuffing using gluten free bread (can

be found in the freezer section of health food stores)

and homemade cornbread (made with just cornmeal, no

flour...it would be easy to find a recipe online).

gluten is hidden everywhere....many store bought

broths contain gluten, it's in some baking

powders...so keep an eye out.

here's how i make cornbread stuffing/dressing (sorry,

i don't use measurements, but you can't mess this

up)...

crumble a batch of homemade gluten free cornbread and

(maybe half a loaf?...i wouldn't use too much, it

doesnt' taste all that good) gluten free bread in a

large bowl. saute chopped onion (1 medium), garlic (2

cloves), and celery (3 stalks) in butter (or olive

oil) until tender and add to the breads. season with

salt and pepper, poultry seasoning and/or sage to

taste. add 2 beaten eggs and enough broth to moisten

(2-3 cups broth...don't get it too wet). pour into a

greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 45

minutes.

hope this is helpful,

susie

Thanks for the advice, Susie. i confess i sort of

laughed at the comment about the gluten-free

cornbread not tasting very good. If the bread

one uses to make the stuffing tastes bad it makes

me wonder if the stuffing wouldn't end up tasting

bad. [?] *lol* Only one way to find out.

Oh and you mentioned also about gluten being in

so many packages products, even broths. i will sure

have to check the labels very carefully then. What

other ways is it listed on the labels that i should
