Stir fry meals are quick and easy. For variety you can use different combinations of vegetables. Use fresh herbs for flavouring and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you want to flavour it with a soy sauce:Braggs Soy sauce is gluten free and made with non GMO soy beans. It has no alcohol, additives or preservatives in it, only soy beans and purified water. Serve with rice or rice stick noodles or GF pasta. If you want it to be more like Chop Suey, for a change, add gf liquid stock (homemade is best) anduse maize cornflour to thicken the sauce.

I have tried the Burgen bread with linseed in it. Didnt care for it as it seemed to me to taste of stale flaxseed. Flaxseed can go off very quickly and is very unpleasant but it may be my tastebuds at fault here. Has anyone else found this problem with the linseed variety. I havent tried the other versions but hope they are better. I tried the Lievito g/f bread and it was very good. It is made in Otago but they do deliver around the country. Am hoping the supermarkets will start stocking it.

Can't remember if I've sent this one ... . . G/F sausages are sometimestoo dense and a bit yucky cooked the ordinary way... . I am now pricking them all over putting in casserole a little finly chopped onion then mixing up a vegetable G/Fsoup and putting over them in a casserole . . the sausage puff up and are tender... ... so nice my non g/intolerant non/coeliac husband prefers them to his ordinary ones... . mind you our butcher makes a mean G/F pork sausage... and also does G/F sausage meat so I can now make our favourite meat loaf again... ... it is worth asking.

Have done this with Hellers Steak and Onion G/F sausages and also with our Main Street Butcher's Temuka G/F Irish pork sausages... am planning to try out a Sweet and Sour version when I work it out... ... . .

I use gf sausages for curry. Heat 1 dessertspoon each of oil and white vinegar. Add 1 dessertspoon of curry and fry for a minute or two. Add chopped onion about 6 - 8 cut up gf sausages. i add about 1/2 cup water and let this mixture simmer away for about 15 - 20 minutes. If it is too runny you can thicken with your own thickener, if too dry add more water during cooking. Serve on rice. Kids love it.

cathnjim - which GF sausages do you use? We can't find any that don't make my two ill? And what sort of curry? Ditto. We have tried blackball sausages, hellers, Ashby's and another fancy variety. We have also tried various independent butchers. All seem contaminated as tehy give a gluten reaction. Which do you have?

Hi gaspodetwd, i use the hellers gf sausages. There is not a lot of variety out there is there. Sometimes they upset me too, but I only have them occassinally. I see they have soy in them, could that be a problem as well for you, as soy is quite hard to digest. As for the curry I use Brindavin medium curry powder. Just contains coriander, tumeric, cumin, chilli and fenugreek.

How about this one. It's an old one I would make in a loaf tin. Lemon tea cake 1 1/2 cups of gf flour 1 cup sugar 1 tsp of baking powder (remember if using self raising flour you might not need baking powder) 1/4 tsp salt 125grams butter or margarine 2 beaten eggs 1/2 cup milk grated lemon rind 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Rub is butter with fingertips. Mix the beaten eggs and milk together Stir egg and milk mixture into the flour mix. Gold in lemon ring and walnuts (I'm going to make this right now with pecans) Pour mixture into greased tine and bake until fir to touch on 180 for about 50mins. To pour over once cooked Juice of 1 lemon and 1/4 cup sugar Mix together and when cake is cooked spoon the mixture over the top. Allow to cool in pan. I was going to make it, but I have a roast in the oven at this point in time.

That sounds yum Melford. Back to Burgen bread. Not too great, the white loaf is too sweet and not suitable for a savoury spread. Despite the quote on the bag, it doesn't make a good sandwich.

The white onedoes however have good texture toasted... ... the linseed meal loaf is o. k. toasted andexcellent for constipation... say a couple of times a week . . we thought the fruit loaf was a bit blah !

For a really good gluten free sausage i would recommend Opawa butchery which is organic as well but slightly more expensive, we've had no probs with these.
