Comments on: Gluten-Free, Dairy Free, Tomato-Free Pizza http://www.simplygf.com/gluten-free-dairy-free-tomato-free-pizza/ Blog about eating a healthy, gluten-free diet in China Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:29:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Donna http://www.simplygf.com/gluten-free-dairy-free-tomato-free-pizza/comment-page-1/#comment-358 Donna Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:53:10 +0000 http://www.simplygf.com/gluten-free-dairy-free-tomato-free-pizza/#comment-358 I'm going to try some of these recipes. I love tomato and green and red peppers but recently have had to eliminate those, along with cow milk, from my diet. I love spaghetti so remembering that spaghetti squash made a good substitute for pasta, I just purchased one. I can have pasta but my grown daughter cannot, thus the spaghetti squash. All the sauces I find on the shelves of the big chain stores contain cow milk, tomatoes or peppers. I'm 73 and must learn to cook again. I’m going to try some of these recipes.

For my daughter, we avoid them altogether. One more aside: anyone who is allergic to tomatoes might also be sensitive to other nightshades such as eggplant and peppers (not peppercorns).

She's extremely hard to cook for, but I've managed. One of my biggest tricks is making a paste out of fresh (or canned) mango and canned prune plum pastry filling, with a little lemon juice to make it a little more tart. This makes an excellent tomato paste substitute, which we use as a base for pizza sauce or chili. (For chili: add garlic, cumin, oregano, onions if you like, peppers if you can tolerate them, beef, and beans.) By the way, Whole Foods pizza crusts are egg-free and dairy-free. We have also discovered Vegan Gourmet brand "cheese". My daughter is allergic to milk, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and pineapple. She’s extremely hard to cook for, but I’ve managed.

One of her allergies is tomato, so I decided to devise a pizza sauce for her: I finely chopped carrot and red bell pepper, roasted them in the oven until they were very soft, and then blended them into a puree, adding a bit of lemon juice to simulate the tartness of tomato, and salt and pepper to taste. It was a bit too runny, so I put the puree in a saucepan over a low heat for a little while to reduce it to the consistency of tomato puree. It didn't quite taste like tomato, but it was very nice under the other toppings: onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms and mozarella - which could be replaced with a vegan soy-based 'cheese' for those with allergies to dairy. I think a sauce - both for pizza and pasta - with roasted red peppers and aubergine (eggplant) would also be nice: trying that one tonight, and I'll report back if you're interested :-) A friend was recently diagnosed with all kinds of allergies, and since I love cooking and she doesn’t, I’ve been experimenting with recipes for her - I came across this post searching for ideas.

I forgot to mention that in the post. We try to avoid eating any refined white sugar, and instead, use honey as a substitute. Also, I had some meringue powder which can be used as egg white substitutes. We're not allergic to eggs, but sometimes I use meringue powder instead of egg whites. Yes, I use honey instead of sugar.

I use an egg replacer I got in the US. SO do you not use any sugar? I thought the yeast needs the sugar to feed on? My recipe is similar but no gelatin (allergies) and I have to use egg relpacer because my family has egg allergies so we use no egg either. My recipe also calls for more yeast I think. Try using honey instead of sugar, it has a nice taste, but you only need 2 tablespoons not 1/3 cup. thanks for sharing. I may try to adapt to your recipe, especially the xanthan gum!
