I’m going to attempt to chronicle my adventures in allergen-free and gluten-free cooking.  This is not easy, because I’m always in a rush, and usually something terrible happens, some times legendary, like the time I burned my hand on the side of the oven rack when I was pregnant with Amelia.

Chopping fingers on cutting board

I haven’t gone THAT far yet, but I’ve come close…

That time, pork chops did me in.

Burning is something I do at least 2-3 times a year, but lately cutting has been getting the most of my poor fingers, especially since I learned how to cut an scallion, proving that a little bit of knowledge IS actually dangerous.

Most days?  It’s Me vs.  The Kitchen….let’s see the score from last night:

Me: 5 burgers, gluten-free, made with broccoli-shitake-roasted garlic & onion puree.
Taste: phenomenal!

Kitchen: 1 sliced pinky finger that bled heavily, 1 sliced thumb fingernail.
Upside: everyone at their veggies.

Recipe For Healthy, Tasty, Gluten-Free Burgers:

  • Puree a handful of broccoli heads and about 2-3 shitake mushroom heads with a tablespoon or two of water in food processor.
  • Roast 1 chopped garlic clove and a tablespoon of chopped white onion in oil. Add to food processor and puree with broccoli-shitake mix.
  •  Mix with 1lb. chopped meat.
  • Make about 5 burger patties.  Add to low medium flame until cooked to desired length.

Enjoy!  May I recommend serving them on either lettuce or Udi’s very delicious gluten-free Classic Hamburger Buns?
