Bean flour is illegal. We asked Digestive Wellness to discontinue the sale of

bean flour.

Last year one of our cooks made tiny pastas with almond flour. I'll try to find

the recipe.

You can make risotto using grated cauliflower. I made " hash brown " Nutatoes "

this

morning by adding a slice of swisss cheese, some grated onion and seasonings to

the

basic pancake recipe. It needed a bit of water too. I used pecans for the flour

ingredient.

Hi Alliesmom:

My two SCD kids like the squash risotto I make from chopping up cooked

spaghetti squash. I add butter, a touch of salt, homemade pesto, homemade

tomato sauce and honey. It works well for leftover spaghetti squash-I cook

gently over low heat until the parmesan cheese in the pesto melts. You can add

some chervil or parsley for colour. It is nice beside fish or chicken.

All the best & God bless,

.

Another note: we just ordered flour from Digestive Wellness...cashew,

walnut, hazelnut, pecan....because our nutritionist said we needed to

alternate nut flours (too dependent on almond flour). This weekend,

I baked lots of yummy recipes and now have a freezer full of yummy

muffins, cookies, pancakes, etc. (I love the new Grain Free Gourmet

cookbook....everything I've tried has turned out great, especially

the main dishes and strawberry jam and tomato sauce. Between that

book and Lucy's cookbook, I've been lucky so far to have great meals

for my family!)

Anyway, would love advice on the homemade SCD pasta idea...is it even

possible?

We made this at the SCD Cooking Course in Toronto last year.

Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto

1/2 head cauliflower

5 dried porcini mushroom

2 tablespoons chicken stock (home made)

2 tablespoons dry white wine

2 tablespoons olive oil

12 small onion,finely chopped

2 cups of mushrooms, slice

1 garlic clove, crushed

3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Soak the Porcini in 1 cup boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain and keeping the

liquid. Pass

the liquid through a fine sieve. Chop the porcini mushrooms.

Put the cauliflower through you food processor using the shredding blade. This

gives the

cauliflower a texture that is remarkably similar the rice.

Blanch for 3 minutes. Please,don't over cook it!

Heat the olive oil in a large pan, cook onion and garlic until softened but not

brown. Toss

in the fresh mushrooms. Season and cook, stirring for 1-2-

minutes. Add the porcini and their liquid, and the wine and stock. Increase the

heat and

cook until the liquid has been reduced.

Add the cooked cauliflower and reduce the heat to low, stirring continuously

until the

stock has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in

the parmesan and top with parsley.
