This is an easy recipe that is open for experimentation. Just throw together whatever meat, seafood, vegetables and spices you desire (or have on hand) and it makes one delicious gluten-free, casein-free dish! We thought we’d give it a try with what we had in the fridge and cupboards, not having to make a run to the grocery store for additional ingredients.
I long to go back to Thailand where ordering food is a breeze, luckily for me traditional Thai food is primarily gluten and dairy free! Wheat and dairy as we know it in North America is virtually non-existent in Thailand where the staples are rice, fresh fish, meat, vegetables and coconut milk. Taking Thai cooking classes is still on my list of to do’s but until then I turn to Thai Kitchen for their green, red and yellow curry pastes, fish sauce and coconut milk. Feel free to use your favourite brand, just ensure that the curry paste and fish sauce do not contain any wheat!
Thinking that a creamy carbonara pasta sauce is off limits? Think again. I love taking a dish which is primarily made of gluten and dairy and making it completely safe for me to eat! Gluten and dairy free does not have to be as restrictive as you think. Nor does it have to be boring. It just takes some creativity, experimentation and an open mind to try something different. I put my craving to good use tonight and created a little bit of heaven. Enjoy the creamy, gluten and dairy free goodness!
