Another typical Mediterranean delight, this red cabbage and apple recipe is sure to knock your socks off if you’ve never had it or anything similar before! Â You can find a lot of different variations of the dish if you travel around the Mediterranean countries, but the basic idea is always the same: very tender red cabbage mixed with a sweet fruit (I’ve used apples, but some people make it with raisins, oranges or apricots) and seasoned with some kind of aromatic spice, usually cloves, cinnamon or nutmeg.
The dish works well either as a salad to go along with your main meal, or as an appetiser. Â I also find it makes a great topping for sausages or hot-dogs, something like a less vinegary coleslaw. Just be careful not to drop any of it on your clothes, especially white, as it does stain quite easily. Â Speaking of the colour, if you find that the red cabbage starts to turn blue when you’re cooking it, it means you haven’t used enough vinegar, as this is necessary to keep the colour from leaking out. Â If you think it’s already got enough vinegar, a little bit of lemon juice will also do the trick quite nicely. (Also try this cabbage and barley soup.)
It’s taken years of searching and trial and error, but I’ve finally managed to find a decent gluten-free pizza crust.  And what’s even better, it’s not too hard to make!  The result is crispy on the outside and just a little chewy in the centre and the dough is strong enough to hold a good quantity of toppings without falling apart in your hands when you try to eat it.  And let’s face it, pizza (such as this spinach, tomato and blue cheese pizza) is meant to be eaten with your hands, not a knife and fork!
Once the dough is ready, you can top it off with your favourite sauce, toppings and cheese.  Whatever you do, don’t skimp on the cheese!  Mozzarella is the typical choice, but I suggest picking something with a little more originality and flair to branch out and try new flavours; you won’t be disappointed!
You Need:
3 tsp yeast
335 ml milk
1 tsp sugar
2 1/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour mix
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
80 ml gluten-free corn meal
Steps:
Preheat oven to 200ºC
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it is just a little warmer than room temperature. Â It should not be too hot to touch with your finger.
Mix the milk, sugar and yeast in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
Mix the flour, salt and xanthan gum well in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
The yeast mixture should now be foaming. Â If it isn’t, wait until it is.
Mix the apple cider vinegar and olive oil into the yeast mixture.
Pour the yeast mixture onto the flour mixture and mix well.
Roll out the dough on baking parchment paper with a roller and sprinkle the corn meal  onto both sides as you go.  You should roll it out to about a little less than half a centimetre thick.
Transfer the dough and baking parchment to a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven until it starts to turn golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Add your sauce, toppings and cheese and bake until the cheese melts.
