Cooking gluten free for kids

Cooking gluten free for children is not always easy and often takes a bit of extra thought. Recently I made some vegie burgers for my son and they were a bit of a hit! Jodie

Vegie burgers

300g butternut pumpkin
1 small sweet potato
1 small zucchini
About 12 broccoli florets
¾ cup Orgran All Purpose Crumbs - http://www.glutenfreelife.com.au/All-Purpose-Crumbs-Orgran-p-16311.html
Rice flour for dusting

Peel and chop all vegetables into 2 cm chunks. Steam the vegetables until soft. Then finely mash or puree the cooked vegetables. Add the rice crumbs to vegetable mixture. Roll mixture into golf sized balls. Dust in rice flour. Cook in a fry pan for approximately 3 minutes on each side, until brown.

Chocolate Spiders

Great for kids parties!

1pkt Changs Gluten Free Fried Noodles - http://www.glutenfreelife.com.au/Fried-Rice-Noodles-Changs-p-16198.html
2 tabs crunchy peanut butter
200g cooking chocolate (milk or dark)

Microwave chocolate and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl for about 30 seconds on high. If not melted, microwave again in 5 second intervals. Mix well until it is a smooth paste. Add noodles and coat them well. Spoon mixture onto grease proof paper or into individual patty pans. Place in refrigerator until set.

Kakadu plum and sweet chilli sauce - Outback Spirit

Kakadu plums are found in the top end from Kakadu to the Kimberly. They are delightfully tangy and highly valued by Aboriginal people as a refreshing ‘pick me up’. Use with chicken, pork, lamb and seafoods. Add to pan juices when cooking. Great through Asian noodles and is a wonderful dipping sauce.
$4.05, 250g jar.
