    Fried Pork or Chicken Cutlet (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Anyone who has given up gluten has favorite dishes that they've had to give up, and which are difficult if not impossible to replace.

    The finished pork katsu curry: Photo--Jefferson AdamsFor me the list includes numerous dishes of the breaded and fried nature. I'm talking about dishes like fried chicken, fried catfish and chicken Parmesan. Bread crumbs, especially Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs, are one of the things for which I've not been able to find a suitable substitute.

    The Japanese make a popular dish called Tonkatsu, which is a pork or chicken cutlet, breaded and fried in hot oil. The dish is often served with a curry gravy and rice for a hearty meal. It is also one of my favorites and one I had given up on after going gluten-free. Until now.

    This method of preparation is highly versatile and works well for veal, fish, chicken, shrimp, etc. The Rice Chex and Rice Krispies are both gluten-free, make for an exceptional coating that cooks well and delivers a golden brown coating that is crisp and delicious.

    Ingredients:
    2 boneless pork chops or chicken breasts, strips, or chunks
    4 cups of Gluten-Free Rice Chex or Gluten-Free Rice Krispies cereal, pulverized
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/2 cup of frying oil like canola - I like a good high-temp oil like peanut oil, if no one is allergic.

    Preparation:
    Beat two eggs in a bowl.

    Take a plastic bag and a rolling pin or other suitable object, crush the Rice Chex or Rice Krispies into small bits and powder.

    Transfer crushed cereal to a larger bowl.

    Heat oil to medium-high in a frying pan.

    Dunk meat first in egg, then roll and coat in crushed cereal. REPEAT a second time. Dunking and coating twice will ensure a good coating.

    Place meat in hot oil and cook until golden brown. When golden brown on the bottom side, turn cutlet over and cook until crispy.

    Remove from heat and place on paper towel to dry.

    You can serve the resulting meat with potatoes and gravy for a chicken-fried steak-style cutlet, or with rice and curry sauce for a more Asian flare. You could also serve it with pasta and tomato sauce and cheese for a delicious chicken, veal or pork Parmesan.

    This coating also makes a great batter for gluten-free chicken nuggets that the kids will love.

    Thank you Jefferson! I was just looking at a half empty box of Rice Chex this afternoon - left over from making gluten-free Chex mix for a New Year's party. Wondering what to do with it - then opened my email. Will be making Chicken Parmesan tomorrow - formerly one of my favorite dishes!

    Tuna Noodle Casserole (Gluten-Free)
    Like any casserole, this one is flexible. I've given you a good guideline for correct proportions, but add more or less salmon or tuna; more or less pasta; more or less peas – you get the picture. It will work and be delicious, regardless.
    Lately I've been using canned salmon instead of tuna in this traditional recipe – Costco even carries wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (boneless) in the can, which boasts 410mg Omega 3s per serving! So this casserole is not only delicious, but it's a deliciously healthy one-dish meal the whole family will enjoy! Obviously, if you have leftover grilled salmon from the night before, it goes without saying (though I'll say it anyway, just in case!) that re-purposing those leftovers in this casserole would be the very best option!
    I've also experimented wit...

    Sure, lots of the meals I make are variations on meals that traditionally contain gluten. However, I also make many that just happen to be gluten-free. Here's one of my favorites.
    Grilled pork chops are an old stand-by. Cheap, easy to prepare, and delicious. I serve this version with steamed fresh broccoli and carrots, along with mashed white sweet potatoes. The result is a quick, delicious summertime meal that is easy on the budget and leaves plenty of calories for wine or a nice dessert.
    Ingredients:
    3-4 Pork chops
    12-16 broccoli or broccoli spears (3-4 per chop)
    3-4 white sweet potatoes (cubed)
    ¼ cup butter
    Splash of milk
    Splash of Balsamic vinegar
    Directions:
    Place pork chops on a hot grill (475-500 degrees)
    After 1 minute or so, rotate chop 90-degrees....

    Honey Mustard Pork Chops with Apricots (Gluten-Free)
    Celiac.com 05/07/2013 - Pork chops are one of my reliable standbys, one of my go-to dishes when I need to make a delicious dinner in a pinch. Any way you care to make them, I'm usually happy to eat a pork chop.
    Recently, I decided I needed a bit more splash in my recipe mix, so I looked around that put a new spin on an old favorite. The result made me smile.
    It's spring, so apricots and peaches will soon be appearing at a stores near you. Yes, this recipe can be made with peaches, just use less peach than you would apricot, but otherwise, prepare the same way.
    This recipe serves four, so scale accordingly.
    Ingredients:
    4 boneless pork chops (1-1½ inches thick) 4 fresh apricots or 1 peach, pitted and cut into wedges 1 tablespoon olive ...
