Someone recently requested some everyday recipes, so I thought I'd share our dairy, egg, corn, & wheat free version of dinner. I slipped some quinoa in the rice bc both kids tend to just eat the starch and no meat. I did sauce their rice with some of the gravy though just to add some meat component. There were no leftovers! I didn't even really miss the sour cream as it's not a favorite of mine, but I want my spaetzel back :-( You can use egg noodles instead of the rice/quinoa. Kathy Dairy Free Beef Stroganoff 1 1/2 # lean beef, cut into thin strips 1 med onion, sliced 1/2 # white mushrooms, sliced 2-4 Tbsp olive oil 1/2 c beef stock salt & pepper to taste pinch of thyme 1 Tbsp potato starch mixed w/ enough cold water to make a paste Heat heavy Dutch oven over med-high heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and saute onion and mushrooms until onion is translucent. Do not brown. Remove with slotted spoon and reserve. Brown meat in batches using additional oil as required. Don't try to do too much meat at once as it will cool off the pan to quickly. When brown, remove w/ slotted spoon and reserve w/ onion & mushroom mixture. Continue until all meat is browned. When last batch of meat has been removed, deglaze the pan w/ beef stock and bring to boil. Add seasonings. Stir together potato starch and water. Add to boiling stock in small amounts until a moderatley thick gravy is achieved. If it gets too thick add a little more stock or water. Return meat, onion, and mushroom mixture to pan and bring to serving temperature. Serve over rice & quinoa or noodles. Rice & Quinoa 2/3 c long grain rice 1/3 c quinoa 2 c water 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp olive oil Rinse quinoa under cold running water. Add to a med sauce pan along w rice and 2 c water. Add salt and oil (or margerine). Bring to boil over med-high heat. Stir and cover tightly. Lower heat and simmer 15 minute or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with fork before serving. This is a little sticker than plain rice. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
