• Add frozen peas to chicken and cook a minute or 2 until no longer frozen.

GLUTEN/ DAIRY FREE PRIMAVERA BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add onion & saute 3 minutes Add garlic; saute 1 minute Stir in tomatoes with their liquid, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, pepper, and salt, while breaking up tomatoes. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes or until it thickens a bit.
• Meanwhile cook rice in boiling water. Drain any access liquid when done and return to pot.
• Mix tofu, olive oil, nutmeg, and seasoned salt in blender.
• Heat oven to 375°F; coat 11x7x2 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• In a skillet pan, heat the olive oil and add the onions with about 1 tsp of salt and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked well. Add the garlic and cook them with the onions for about 1 minute.
• Add the Garbonzo flour to the onions and stir in well. Add the milk and whisk it in and make sure that there are no lumps of flour.
• Add the salt, pepper, and any other herbs and seasonings that would be preferred.
• Cook Med/High until thickened. You may need to add some more milk if the sauce gets too thick, about 1/4 cup at a time if needed. If the sauce is too thin, add 1 tbsp of flour more at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
• Add the cheese and cook until melted.
• P.S.: when I made this in the tuna casserole, I put the cooked, drained, pasta into a large baking dish, poured the sauce over the pasta and sprinkled the cheese on top, rather than cook the cheese into the sauce. Baked this at 375 for about 15 minutes and the cheese melted. It was delicious!

VANILLA SPONGE CAKE- GLUTEN, DAIRY, NUT AND EGG FREE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C Oil and line a round cake tin. (I use 20cm/8inch pan- but smaller or larger will just vary the height of the cake).
• Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Use an egg whisk to aerate- their is no need to sift the dry ingredients.
• Using a mixing jug, beat the oil, vinegar, vanilla and water together. Mix well.
• Make a well in the flour mix and add the wet mix. Beat this together slowly and when mixed through beat with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.The mixture should be the consistency of a thick batter. Cook 45-60 minutes.
• When cooked, remove the cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before turning out to cool.
• Decorate as desired.
