How to make Gluten-free bread.

Sometimes, making a gluten-free bread at home can present lots of challenges, and ultimately frustration-yours truly have had my own share of the frustration. I have tried lots of recipes since the gluten-free breads I found in the store will either contain soy, egg white or other things that my kid reacts to. Recently, I came across this particular recipe on " One good thing By Jillee" and decided to give it a try.

However, I changed somethings to suit my needs. You can find the original recipe right here. Below is what I came up with after switching things around. It is milk-free, egg white-free and soy-free.

If you are like me that have to switch from making one meal at a time for my family to making 2 different meals each time, you will understand how difficult it is to have a child that has some certain allergies. One of kids has been off gluten for more than 2yrs now. I can tell you for sure that it has been so difficult finding good meals that can satisfy his needs. I have tried some recipes but they were not good enough.

How to fry Ripe Plantain

 





Fried Plantain Served with scrambled eggs.

Plantain is a" crop from the genus Musa", with edible fruits often used for cooking. Though it has the same shape and looks similar to banana, it is a little different from banana which is sweeter and softer when ripe.  If you want to use plantain as a side dish, you need to allow it to almost overripe and become very soft, to increase the sweetness. But if you plan to use it as  main dish or if you are not a big fan of sweet foods, you can either boil it or fry it before it ripens' . 



However, in this recipe I will be using over-ripe banana, it is a very easy recipe, and does not take lots of time to prepare.











Ripe Plantain



Ingredients:

3 over-ripe plantains

1-2cups of olive oil or any vegetable oil

A pinch of salt.

A frying pan or deep fryer

 

*Note if you are using a deep fryer, you will be needing more oil*

 

Method:

Peel the plantain and slice it diagonally(about 1/4inches). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss, set it aside. Add about 1 cup of oil into the frying pan and heat up till it begins to shimmer, add the sliced plantain into the hot oil(fry in batches). Allow the plantain to fry till the part touching the pan is golden brown, flip over and fry the other side.

 

Remove the batch from the oil using a frying spoon or fork, and layer them on a paper towel to drain the rest of the oil. Add the next batch and fry till all the plantains are finished.

 

Serve with rice, beans or serve with scrambled eggs or any food and drink of choice.

 

Enjoy!
