Sweet Potato Pizza Bases (gluten free, dairy free)

March 16, 2017 · 7 Comments

We now have three of us in the family as dedicated gluten-free.

While I love almond meal based recipes, all that almond meal does get a bit expensive. So I’ve been experimenting with different things to bulk out the almond meal and be a little more frugal.

My first experiment with pizza bases was a winner with both kids saying they preferred it to the plain almond meal one I usually make. It’s pretty easy to make and perfect for using up leftover sweet potato mash.

The bases freeze really well, so make a double batch to have an easy dinner option on hand ready to go. They defrost super quick!

I hope you love these easy sweet potato pizza bases as much as we do. Let me know if you make them!

 

Sweet Potato Pizza Bases (gluten free, dairy free)

This is what you need:

2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potato

2 cups almond meal

2 eggs

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes (optional)

2 teaspoons Herbamare (or salt)

This is how you do it:

Preheat the oven to 200°celsius.

Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.

Line two round pizza trays with non-toxic baking paper.

Spread the mixture onto the trays and form the shape you want. The mixture is like a batter, not a dough.

Use a spatula to help you push it to the edges and smooth out so it’s an even thickness.

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Now you can spread it with sauce and your choice of toppings.

Pop it back into the oven for another 10 minutes or so or until it’s cooked.

Enjoy!

Peanut Satay Chicken Wings

August 1, 2016 · 5 Comments

Peanut Satay Chicken Wings

 

I have a love affair with satay!

How good are those flavours?? We quite often have satay stir fries or noodles for dinner.

I was inspired by a recipe at Taste and decided to try my hand at making a peanut sauce marinade on some chicken wings for a budget and kid friendly dinner.

If you can’t have peanuts, use any other nut butter you have – cashew would be perfect!

 

Peanut Satay Chicken Wings

Vital Stats: gluten free, dairy free, egg free, grain free

Serves 4

 

Okay this is what you need:

8 large organic chicken wings

1/3 cup organic peanut butter

1/3 cup organic coconut cream

2 tablespoons organic tamari

1 lime juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

2 teaspoons fresh turmeric, grated

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated

2 -3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon coconut sugar

 

HOT TIP: Use coconut cream in a can that has a BPA free lining like this one.

 

Okay so this is what you do:

Mix all ingredients except the chicken wings.

Add the chicken wings to the mixture and marinate overnight or for a few hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°celsius.

Place the wings on a rack on top of a tray and cook for 30-40 minutes or until brown and cooked through.

The marinade will form a crispy crust on the wings. Droooool!

You can also cook the wings in all the marinade in an oven proof dish if you like.

Serve the peanut satay chicken wings with some coconut rice and an asian salad or stir-fried vegetables.

 

HOT TIP: When marinating chicken pieces, I always slash the skin in a few places with a sharp knife so the yummy flavours penetrate through to the meat. 

 

If your kids are little, they might like smaller pieces, so cut the chicken wings into three pieces, discarding the wing tip (use it for broth). These smaller serves also work well as for nibbles for a party or bbq.

They are also delicious cold so make extra for the lunch boxes.

What do you think? Will you give them a go?

What is your best budget meal for the family?
