Big Easy Chili with Andouille

Big easy chili that is gluten free scrumptious


Big Easy Chili.


I'm back from our jaunt to Los Angeles- an impromptu trip that was over far too quickly (where does time fly to, by the way? They say time flies but I always want to know, where?). I have a handful of juicy details to report, and I will, in an upcoming post, but today is apparently sort of a big deal. There's some sort of super ball game goin' on? And rumor has it, today's a big chili day.

So I am reprising my Big Easy chili recipe with Andouille sausage.

And me?

I'll be doing laundry. Lots of laundry.


About the recipe... I made this recipe in the Crock Pot- which makes it perfect for a party or an informal get-together- but you could also toss it all in a heavy soup pot, cover and simmer for a hour (you know, to let all the sexy spices and flavors co-mingle). 


Then pass out the spoons and banana cornbread.

Karina's Big Easy Gluten-Free Chili Recipe with Andouille

Recipe posted October 2006.
This is a doubly good soup. First, as the name implies, it's super easy. Second, it's spiked with organic spicy andouille sausage, hence the nod in the title to its Cajun roots. If you prefer an alternative sausage or vegan weiner, Cher, be my guest. Add 'em in.
Ingredients:

 2 1/2 cups chicken or vegan broth - and more, to thin, if needed
2 14-oz.cans Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red onion, diced
2 fresh jalapeños, seeded, stemmed, diced- or 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños
2 15-oz. cans red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
2 15-oz. can pinto or black beans, rinsed, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
1 teaspoon chipotle, cayenne, or hot chili powder, to taste
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or molasses
4 gluten-free andouille sausages, sliced into coins
1 teaspoon brown sugar or organic raw agave

 Instructions (the easy part):
Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low or high according to the manufacturer’s instruction for your make and model.

 Before serving, stir in:

 Pinch of sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Fresh chopped cilantro, to taste

 Taste for seasoning adjustments.

 Serve with a spoonful of sour cream or plain non-dairy yogurt and cilantro sprigs for garnish.

 Optional garnish:

 Sliced scallions (spring onions).

 We served this hearty soup with grilled slices of Sweet Banana Corn Cake.

 Serves 6.

You know, those stalwart gotta have my meat and potatoes aficionados who eschew anything leafy. Who snicker at fiber. And mock carrot sticks. The sort of individual who gets misty eyed for melted butter and bacon martinis. To said individuals, salad could never be anything but rabbit chow. But this lovely mélange of flavors just might piqu...

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Image
Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time...

A Summer Classic: Blueberry Crisp We had a sudden hankering. You know how it is. A craving hits that will not be denied. Insistent. Growling. Desire with an uppercase D. So I'm digging into the archives. June is here. And you start imagining fresh, juicy blueberries, nestled beneath a perfectly golden crumble of a crust, warm, the deepest purple, bubbling as you slide it- ever so gently- out of the oven and onto a cooling rack to rest and settle until you can't stand it a minute longer, breathing in the cinnamon laced aroma of a summer dessert classic. The forever glorious blueberry crisp. And this one's gluten-free. And dairy-free. No xanthan gum either- a bonus. So darling. Don't wait. Blueberry season is short and sweet. Peace + Love, Karina xox

Coconut Milk Ice Cream Berry Parfaits

Image
Parfait this! Easy fancy for a long hot summer- so bookmark this one... a simple, creamy coconut ice cream recipe served parfait style with blueberries and strawberries. And it's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. And because you make it yourself, gum-free and carrageenan-free. So many yays. It was sunny and hot yesterday, and today is a repeat. So during a heat wave, even a modest two-day hot fest, yours truly is unable to muster any enthusiasm for cooking. Typically, I live on gluten-free granola. And ice cream. Yes, I know. I am a poor, sad, sad role model. What kind of food blogger doesn't rise to the challenge and cheer-lead you to whip up baby kale and avocado salads and raw maca peach turmeric and oat milk smoothies? What kind of food blogger would simply give in to her sticky, prickly fatigue and general overall crankiness and not create some virtuous, nutrition packed bunny food miracle slurry for you? This one. She who is about to share a no-cook reci...
