A Gander of Geeseberries

Heading back down 202 from NH, I stopped by Hamilton Orchard, where one can pick their own berries or for those in a hurry just by them in the glutifull little store. They had cartons of gooseberries, currants, raspberries, and blueberries. So I purchased one of each and decided to see what else was strewn about the house to see what I should make for the GFP. I gathered up some refugee zucchini from my parents garden, a potato, an onion, nine quail eggs and decided to make some Latke with a Gooseberry Sauce, and leave the other berries for something later.

Here it is:

Zucchini Latke

Shred
3 Zucchini
1 Potato
1 Onion

Beat
9 Quail Eggs
2 Chicken Eggs

Add
3 Tbs Gluten Free Flour Substitute of Choice (I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free GF Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix)
2 Tbs Red Quinoa
1/2 tsp salt
dash garlic powder
dash salt

Mix it All Up

Fry
In 3 Tbs of Rapeseed Oil (Canola)
Spoon in Raw Latke Components and Fry
Flip as each side browns
Replenish oil as necessary


Gooseberry Sauce

Melt in Sauce Pan
2 Tbs Butter

Combine in sauce pan
1/2 pt of Gooseberries
2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves

Heat
On Medium Heat, occasionally stirring, until berries deflate or you get impatient and squish them with a potato masher.

Serve Warm

Gluten Free Potluck July: A Berry Good Time

Tonight we had our sixth gluten free potluck here at Old Montague in Amherst, MA. The secret theme ingredient was berries. Tristan was declared winner - he brought zuchini latkes with gooseberry sauce.

Actually, we were all winners - lots of meat and lots of desserts. Jennifer and Gina joined us for the first time and we hope they'll come back next month. Ryan and Maria are leaving us for the west coast, but they promise to start a GluFruCru in Seattle.

My grill busted out of the basement, got a good cleaning and a propane refill, all for raspberry lime steak tips. Also on the menu: Berry crepes, raspberry brownies, blueberry salad, blueberry lamb chops, black raspberry muffins, blueberry muffins, blueberry pork chops and raspberry mousse.

Up for August is tomatos, and Robin has agreed to host.
