Organic, Gluten-Free green bean casserole.

So easy!

Ingredients:

Organic Green Beans/Hericot Vert - 3 bags
Organic gluten free condensed mushroom soup - 2 boxes
Organic Brown/Yellow Onion, sliced very thin - 1
Organic sprouted brown rice flour - a good sized pile
Pink Himalayan salt - some (to taste)
Organic, raw, unrefined coconut oil - lots



I sliced up an organic brown onion very thin.  Then tossed in organic sprouted brown rice flour, with some salt mixed into it.  Then fried the onions in batches until light golden color, in organic coconut oil, over medium high heat in a heavy pan.  Dusted them with pink Himalayan sea salt while warm.  Set aside.

Put 2 containers of organic condensed cream of mushroom soup and 3 bags or organic green beans into a huge plastic bag.  Shook bag to coat beans with soup.

Put beans into a pan, covered with foil,  baked in 350F oven for 1 hour.  Removed foil, covered with precooked onion strings and placed in oven for 5 minutes more to heat crispy onions on top.

YUM!
Gluten Free Thanksgiving Gravy!

I missed gravy.  This was great and nobody commented about it being "gluten free"; they just ate it up!  Barely any left and I made a DOUBLE batch!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
Butter - 1/2 cup (1 stick)
Flour - 1/2 cup (Cup4Cup gluten free all purpose flour)
Chicken Bullion - 1 or 2 cubes (if you like it saltier, use 2 cubes)
Chicken Stock/Broth - 1 box (32 oz.)


Equal parts Butter & Flour.  I used 1 stick butter (1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup gluten free flour.  Then 1-2 gluten free chicken bullion cubes melted together, mixing constantly with a whisk until it transforms from buttery yellow to toasted light golden brown.   I cooked in heavy pan over medium high heat; I prefer heavy pans and feel like they do not scorch easily and keep the heat more even.




Then immediately add 1 box of chicken or turkey broth (I really like this organic bone broth from Walmart).  Whisk immediately and constantly to avoid lumps.  Stir with whisk while cooking.  It's ready when it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.


NOTE:  It stays warm nicely in a crockpot on low.  It freezes and reheats well too.  I might use it as the liquid in turkey pot pies with the left overs (gluten free crust of course).
