Need Recipe


Wenmin

Being from South Louisiana, I need a recipe for gluten free roux. I want to make gumbos and stews, but this is not possible without a roux (formally made with flour and oil) to thicken the sauce. I have asked several forums for help with this and was never given a reply. I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks

I'm not from the south but for thickening I use cornstarch & water or cornstarch & broth. hth

Someone suggested using sweet rice flour a while back and I've had great success so far.

I use my normal baking mix flour, which is a combination of rice/tapioca/potato starch, and no one has ever noticed the difference. (This mix does not have any gum in it.)I do not know the proportions of each since I buy it in bulk from a gluten free bakery.

I haven't made any gumbos but I've had great success with sweet rice flour for gravies and white/cream sauces. Seems that for a gumbo you'd heat some margarine and oil in a heavy bottom pan, sprinkle the rice flour over and let it sit for a minute. I think about 1 heaping tablespoon for two+ cups liquid). After a bit I whisk the flour in with the oil/margarine and then continue whisking as I add liquid. I'm not sure that you'd be able to get this roux to 'brown' before adding the liquid like a traditional roux.

I use Koda Farms Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour Blue Star Brand (what a mouthful). I purchased in an Asian market but this is from the San Joaquin Valley Central California. The box says their facilities are dedicated exclusively to rice processing.

Wenmin, I am originally from New Orleans, but grew up in Dallas. I tried different flours to make the roux and some of them did not turn out. The easiest way and the only way that has worked for me so far was to put Better Batter Flour and oil in the microwave. Easier than making the roux and stirring constantly in the pot.

The problem I kept having was that after I got the roux to the right color and added my liquid, it would stick to the bottom of the pot and I would get these dark brown pieces that would float up. I never had that problem before going gluten free and have made many, many gumbos.

The microwave method worked well for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the good advice. I'll give these a try as soon as I can find some of these ingredients and let you all know the results.

Thanks again!

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief...

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
