Football food: ideas please (several restrictions)

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

Watching the football with another couple on Wed and have said I'll make food. Between them they have a lot of dietary restrictions. Am pondering what to make that can either be completely made ahead or finished off during half time, to eat during 2nd half. A lot of the things I'd usually make I can't because of the various restrictions .

Doesn't have to be fancy. My current thoughts are home made burgers with sweet potato fries and coleslaw but that is dependent on being able to get soft gluten free bread rolls . Or pulled pork but we've had that very recently so I'd rather not.

Also need dessert.

limitations:
Gluten free
no cream, cheese or Mayo.
No prawns
No chocolate
No nuts

Although it's going to be raining I think it will be too warm for something like a slow cooked casserole but I guess that's another option.

I don't want to do fish as they cooked fish for us last week.

Dessert:
I don't want to do fruit salad as that is what everyone makes for GF friend. The other guest can't eat nuts so that rules out my go to GF almond cake. Could do a Pavlova with dairy free ice cream or yogurt instead of cream but that doesn't appeal to DH .

Ideas welcome as I need to shop tomorrow and not much time to give it thought today.
Thank you .

Will you be sitting at a table, or sitting on sofas in a living room with side tables?

Curry (veg or chicken, or both) and rice, or dahl for mains. Or combination of above.
Followed by a mango, or other exotic fruit sorbet.

Curry or chilli with rice. Poppadoms with curry. Tortilla chips with chilli.
Burgers are a good option. M and S do decent soft GF rolls. But most supermarkets stock Schar products and they do burger buns and they also do frozen packs of rolls which although are not soft are good.
Is the coleslaw Mayo free?

Ah I meant to include that info sorry. - we'll be seated but not at a table, eating off our lap. But we do have a table we could use to put food on to serve off & some small side tables for glasses

I’d just go for the easy option of dairy free/GF ice cream. You could do a gf crumble served with the ice cream?

Yes I usually give this guest dairy free ice cream! Crumble is a good idea if I can find a suitable marg that you can cook with - friend doesn't have butter but never really been clear about which marg is ok do her. Many of the veg based spreads can't be used in cooking, will google.

Thank you everyone. Chilli/curry are possibilities but trying to explore other options as it is going to be warm even if wet.

Curry or chilli and rice

Followed by a cake of some kind. Jamie Oliver has a gluten free carrot cake. It has optional walnuts so you could just leave them out

@Rainbowqueeen gluten free carrot cake sounds perfect as it is made with oil so avoids the marg issue .I'd have to leave off the frosting too but that's ok. Thank you

Flora do a vegan ‘butter’ in a block which you can use to cook with.

Oh and DD uses it to do a dairy free frosting on carrot cake too

Lime and coconut chicken skewers www.kikkoman.co.uk/recipes/all/lime-and-coriander-chicken-skewers/ served with coconut rice. Or this version with the dipping sauce realfood.tesco.com/recipes/thai-chicken-skewers-with-coconut-dipping-sauce.html Chicken skewers normally take about 15 minutes to grill, so perfect for half time!

@Fivemoreminutes1 I love the sound of that, but most soy sauce isn't gluten free, will see if I can find some that is.

I think I'm going to have a shopping list that says 'if you can find x ingredient, then buy other ingredients to make y recipe.' With various alternatives until I can find one with all available!

For pudding, I’d do summer jelly terrine www.deliaonline.com/recipes/collections/soft-fruits/a-terrine-of-summer-fruits

The second chicken skewers recipe doesn’t have soy sauce

What about fritata and salad?

Home made quiche with gf ready rolled pastry?

You could par boil a pan if baby potatoes and tip them into an oven proof dish. Smash down with a fork so they're all broken and squashed. 30 mins before you want to serve put in the oven, dotted with butter and herbs.

Served with a main (burger, no bun, steak, chicken drumsticks?) And a big green salad, or a Greek salad? Salad can be made in advance, just gotta cook off the main bit? Should be doable in the half time break?

Pudding? Summer fruit pudding made with gf bread? Lemon posset? Individual Eton messes? All made in advance...

Asda definitely sell a gluten-free soy sauce, so I would guess that all supermarkets with a 'Free From' section do too.

Kebabs, salad and rice. Some pita bread for those who can have gluten.

You could supply various meat and chopped up veg and let people make their own kebabs

Peppers stuffed with rice and veg - you eat out of the pepper with a fork.

I have a rice cooker - it cooks rice and keeps warm for a couple of hours - it came from Argos on a buy 3 pay for 2, I thought I'd never use it but it is rally useful. They are about £10.

So I'd put rice in with a mix of water and tinned coconut milk and throw a few veg in.

I sometimes add fish on top but you could add chicken in foil parcels.

Chats - deep fried new potatoes.

For pudding put some bananas in foil with sugar and if you like add rum. Bake for 10 mins.

If you want to go with your burger idea, Genius gluten free brioche burger buns are excellent- nice and soft and if you stick them under the grill for a few minutes to warm/toast slightly, perfect for burgers.

I have a lot of food intolerances.

I would go for jacket potatoes with a variety of toppings. chilli or curry with mince, without mince. Find out about cows vs sheep and goats milk for good feta to go with spring onions. Coleslaw either with Mayo or a vinaigrette dressing. It is watching the football, after all. Fancy is not the theme of the day.

Rice pudding with rice milk works well. I like raspberries with it, warmed a bit from frozen is easy. Or poached plums. A slow cooker can be your friend here.

Lots of great ideas, thanks all, plenty to choose from, much appreciated.
