Gluten Free

There is a restaurant we used to go to a lot and my favorite dish there was their Shimla Paneer.  I've tried a lot of online, authentic Indian recipes and none have been exactly what I'm looking for.  So I've poked around a bit to see what I could come up with.  The result is not at all authentic, but I like it and that's what I'm looking for.  Here it is:

In a pan, saute:

The Chipotle Romesco sauce goes really well with the roasted cauliflower.  Would probably go well with chicken breast, too.  This recipe was found at Minimalist Baker, another site that requires work to sift through all the ads to get to the recipe.  They gotta pay for the server somehow. 

Addictive recipe from Cookie and Kate that includes a lot of eggplant and Mediterranean flavors. Sort of like Ratatouille, but with eggplant instead of zucchini. The Mrs likes it much better than Ratatouille, but she's partial to eggplant.  Might even think of it as chunky Mediterranean salsa equivalent.  Maybe.

Encountered on Bon Appetite.  There are lots of mushroom taco recipes out there. Many include garbanzo beans and/or walnuts to bulk things up. Another way to get a chewy-er end product is to use mushrooms that have been dried and then "rehydrated". They never completely rehydrate and remain the sort of chewy stuff that has more of a meat texture. This recipe does some of the drying using the oven. Took about 28 minutes in the oven for fresh mushrooms.

From Delish. Cabbage is readily available and usually cheap. Makes a great soup. Usually substitute more Italian-type herbs for the chili powder. Sometimes caraway seeds.  Whatever. Good choice when there are leftover beans that need something to do.

Gluten-free masa crust with layers of spiced refried beans and cheese. Like a huge tostada.

Crust:

• 1 1/4 C Masa (Quaker brand preferred)
• 1 1/4 C warm water
• 1/4 t salt
• mix until it forms a smooth ball
• press out into an oiled cast iron skillet, at least 10", 12" preferred. Using a bench scraper makes it easy to spread out and smooth.
• pre bake at 425 F for 10 min to set the crust

Sauce:

Fruit leathers are another solution for what to do with that bulk fruit purchase that was drug home. They make even more sense for consuming home grown produce, since it's very easy for a couple dollars worth of store purchased fruit to go into making a single leather/rollup!  

The Recipe is from the Magic Mill Dehydrator manual.  Recommends 800 g/leather.  Typically go for 2 C of puree. That seems to work well. 

Pork Tenderloin is a favorite.  Always happy to find a good recipe.  Pork and apple is a well known combination. This recipe comes from Creme de la Crumb.  The flavors were excellent.  Well received.  Will do it again.

Needed a Beef Pho recipe that didn't include Thai Basil since there wasn't any at the grocery store.  Once Upon a Chef had one that looked promising. A favorite thing to do with left over roast beef is to slice it thin and slip it into Pho right before serving and let the broth heat it up.

Taco Tuesday and there's left over sous vide/roast beef.  Making usual 6 tacos.
