The recipe is courtesy of Jones Dairy Farm and features their certified gluten-free Dry Aged Bacon and All Natural Roll Sausage. This sausage roll is made from an original family recipe with only three ingredients: pork, salt and hand-blended spices. Remember, Jones Sausage is found in the freezer section.

Besan Halwa

Recipe courtesy Beyond Celiac Ambassador Annika Dhariwal, who runs the blog Gluten-Free Jio

Besan is the Hindi word for gram flour. Also known as garbanzo flour or chickpea flour, besan is made from ground chickpeas, which are naturally gluten-free.

This recipe is for a deliciously rich Indian dessert that’s full of flavor. Find more recipes from Annika on her website.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup besan (gram flour)
• ½ cup ghee
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups water, warm
• 2 pinches saffron soaked in 2 Tablespoons warm milk
• 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 2 Tablespoons pistachio slivers
• 2 Tablespoons almond slivers

Directions:

1. Sieve the besan to a fine flour. Make sure that there are no lumps in the flour.
2. Heat ghee in a heavy bottom steel pan.
3. Once the ghee is hot, lower the heat to medium and add besan to it.
4. Take a heavy flat spatula and start roasting the besan in ghee. After 2 minutes, reduce the heat to low.
5. Stir and roast the besan in ghee on low heat for about 15 minutes.
6. Roast the besan until it starts separating from the ghee. At that point, begin to slowly add 2 cups of warm water to the pan, stirring until the water is absorbed.
7. When the water is absorbed, add the sugar, cardamom and saffron soaked in milk. Keep stirring continuously.
8. Switch off the heat when you see the desired consistency (some prefer it a bit smoother, like a paste, and others with more substance and shape) and let it stand for 2-3 minutes.
9. Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds and serve warm.

Quesillo (Flan)

September 14, 2022

From Maria Luci, Beyond Celiac Director of Research Engagement

This recipe is from my Cuban mother, Ana, who doesn’t always love to cook but when she does she always puts a lot of love into it. She shared this and other family recipes with me when I got married. I treasure the recipe book she made me.

Gluten-Free Cuban Quesillo

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of condensed milk
• 2 cans of evaporated milk
• 8 eggs
• 8 Tablespoons sugar
• 3 Tablespoons water
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. In a small cookie can* make caramel by mixing the 8 Tbs of sugar with 3 Tbs of water over medium heat. Stir continuously until it turns light brown, then remove from heat.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla. Once it’s thoroughly combined, put it in the cookie can on top of the caramel.
4. Cook in the oven at 375°F for about an hour, until you can get a toothpick to come out clean from the middle.
5. Remove from oven and let cool.
6. When the can is cool, place it in the refrigerator. Leave it there until you’re ready to serve.
7. About 20 minutes before serving, boil a pot of water.
8. Once boiling, hold the can carefully so the bottom is in the water. This will melt the caramel.
9. Turn the can upside down over a large dish. Cut into pie slices or squares.

* Editor’s note: this is my mother’s wording, but I’ve seen her use spring form pans or flan molds like this one from Amazon (affiliate link).

Pride Krispies

June 1, 2022

Have you been wondering what to take to the June Pride celebration potluck? We’ve got you covered! These Pride Krispy treats are gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 4 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (always gluten-free and clearly labeled)
• 10 oz bag full-sized Dandies vegan marshmallows
• ¼ cup coconut oil

Directions:

1. Grease an 8×8 or 7×11 baking pan with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray.
2. Cut the marshmallows into quarters with scissors.
3. Combine the marshmallows in a pan with the coconut oil and heat on the stove on medium heat, stirring continuously. I found it easier to use a large pan to give the marshmallows more heated surface area and also to have enough room for the cereal when you add it. Note that the marshmallows will not melt to a liquid state, but will instead get soft, sticky and pliable.
4. Once the marshmallows are soft, add the cereal a cup at a time. Expose a sticky surface of marshmallow, stick the cereal onto it, fold the cereal in and repeat. You may want to use your hands for the mixing process once most of the cereal is in the pan, but warning! It will be hot! If you have heat resistant silicone cooking gloves, this would be a great time to use them!
5. Once the cereal is mixed in, transfer the mixture to your baking pan and push it into place, all the way to the edges.
6. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight and then cut into squares.

Ingredients for the Cake

Makes 12 servings

• 2 cups (296g) gluten-free flour blend
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature

• ¾ cup (171g) plain Greek yogurt, room temperature

Ingredients for the Glaze and Topping

• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
• 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

*To toast the shredded coconut, spread an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9.5” bundt pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
3. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugar until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add the dry ingredients in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry mixture and beat briefly after each addition to combine. Fold in the shredded coconut.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 48–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before topping with the glaze.
