I'm having a couple of friends round for dinner and one of the guests is gluten intolerant.
No other food issues, not fussy eaters. We all eat meat/ fish/ seafood/ spicy food/ dairy etc. It's literally just gluten that I need to avoid.
I'd prefer to avoid buying too many gluten free substitutes if possible, preferring something that's naturally gluten free. That said I have chosen something that uses some GF flour in my proposed menu and I'm OK with that.
This is my current proposed menu, but I'm not sure. I wonder if it will be a bit dull? I keep finding that there's a big overlap between gluten free recipes and vegan/ vegetarian/ dairy free etc, and whilst I don't have a problem with that per se, I did feel that a lot of the recipes seemed a bit dull and everyday, and a bit like veggies were just being substituted for the tastly bits!
Ideally I'd like something that is as "prepare in advance" as possible.
So I'm proposing this for a starter, served cold with rocket and sliced plum tomatoes on the side with a balsamic glaze.
Followed by this
I do worry this has the potential to be super bland though.
Finally this for pud. I'm happy with this, and can't wait to try it out!
So what do you reckon?
Would you mind being served an all veggie menu when no-one is a veggie? Do you think its a bit dull?
I'd be particularly interested in anyone's suggestions for a different main, and possibly starter too!
I don't have any experience of GF cooking, so am sticking to recipes that specifically state GF.
