Gluten-Free Vegan
Posted Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 11:55 AM

I have been veg since '91. Vegan off and on. Off when traveling, on at home. I am now gluten-free as well. Anyone else out there to share support and recipes?

I am going gluten free as of today. I have been researching symptoms of gluten intolerance so I am going to try eliminating it.

I found this link for recipes http://www.fatfreevegan.com/gluten-free/index.shtml

Best wishes!

Hi Oceandog! Welcome to the forums! There will be tons of support here to help you stay the vegan path. There seem to be lots of great cooks on board too who can maybe help with gluten-free recipes.

Good to have you here! Very Happy

Hi Oceandog, I am also a gluten-free vegan. I put two recipes below that my mom made over Christmas. We always had a salad to go with these dishes because they are mostly beans and rice and lacking in veggies. The best advantage of these dishes - beyond tastiness - is that they reheat very well.

I also make a peas and rice dish and a green beans over GF (Tinkyada) pasta dish for some of my go-to dnners. I would be happy to type those up for you if you are interested.

Here are some of my sources for recipes:

Karina Allrich - Gluten-Free Goddess - http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/

Happy Herbivore - http://happyherbivore.com/

I also just search for vegan recipes and pick ones that are inherently GF.

Beans & Rice
- Saute chopped onion in water or broth.
- When onions are almost done, add 1 or 2 cloves of minced garlic, cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of water
- Add 1 cup of rice and stir.
- Season with salt, pepper, chili pepper & cumin.
- Stir and bring to a boil, reduce heat & cook until almost done.
- Add 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce and 1 can of black beans (rinsed & drained) to rice.
- Stir to combine and finish cooking rice. You might try heating up the tomato sauce & black beans in the microwave before you add them to the rice.
- Check your seasonings when you add the beans to see if you need more of anything.

Grape leaf filling
- 1 cup of rice
- 1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (2 fresh lemons)
- 1/2 tsp of mint
- Cinnamon, pepper, garlic powder if you have it or a very small amount of garlic
- Stir ingredients & bring to a boil in a sauce pan (or your new pressure cooker). Then reduce heat & cook until rice is done.
- You may need more water for your rice. Follow the instructions on the package for the amount of rice you are using. It does not need much mint.

Thanks for the recipes and the website (Vegan Guy). I am thrilled there are other GF Vegans out there. Sometimes I think my sister and I are alone! hahaha
I cook a lot so these recipes and the website will be great!

I'm trying hard to ease into gluten free. I was tested for celiac but it was negative. However, I had a highly respected integratvie medicine meet me and tell me she thought I should get off gluten!

Anyway, I posted a recipe under fast and easy thread that is gluten free and I eat it a lot as I love it! Looking forward to finding more recipes from all the experts here! (Fast and easy especially) Cool
