How can you make this dish gluten-free?
Gluten-free dishes are become all the rage in recent years. With the increasing number of people who are gluten intolerant, gluten-free foods have become a necessity.
Gluten is a protein found in grains such as wheat and barley that gives strength and elasticity to doughs and batters. To make any dish gluten-free, first, you need to remove the gluten from it. This can be done by using alternate ingredients such as rice, tapioca, buckwheat, sorghum, and quinoa.
You can also bake your food instead of cooking it on a stovetop or microwave to avoid cross-contamination with kitchen utensils used for cooking dishes with gluten such as pasta or bread.
