What would the holidays be without turkey and stuffing? Stuffing, or dressing, as some people call it, is a holiday tradition. A Thanksgiving feast is not quite complete without stuffing on the menu. Many people who are diagnosed with celiac disease often feel that they have to give up their favorite foods due to their diet restrictions. If you have an intolerance to gluten, you’ll be happy to know that gluten free stuffing is available on store shelves and in gourmet food shops online.
Stuffing is a Comfort Food
Stuffing is a popular side dish that has been around for decades and it is one dish that can easily be transformed into a gluten free dish that tastes remarkably similar to traditional stuffing made with bread that contains gluten. The reason the taste can be duplicated is because a typical stuffing recipe includes ingredients such as onion, celery, sage and chicken broth, which is readily available in a gluten free version.
Store Bought or Homemade, the Choice is Yours
If you like to cook, there are many products on the market that will inspire you to try your own version of gluten free stuffing. You can purchase day-old gluten free bread which you can break into cubes to use as your stuffing base, or you can simply purchase ready-made stuffing that is gluten free, and already has great flavor. If you want to add additional seasonings, vegetables or fruit (some people add cranberries or apple to their stuffing), you can add whatever you like to make it your own. Many gourmet shops and bakeries produce stuffing that is as good, if not better, than traditional stuffing recipes. If you are really feeling adventurous and have the time, try baking your own gluten free bread which you can then use for your stuffing.
Adapt Your Favorite Recipes to Meet Your Gluten Free Needs
Don’t miss out on the things you love due to a restricted diet. Serve gluten free stuffing to your friends and family the next time you have a holiday gathering. You’ll be surprised to see how fast it disappears, and they’ll be surprised to learn that it’s gluten free!
