  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Quinoa, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and gluten-free pastas

  • Gluten-free condiments (tamari, coconut aminos, mustard)
  • Spices, herbs, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Choose a protein base: animal-based or plant-based.
  2. Select a gluten-free grain or vegetable-based starch (e.g., quinoa or sweet potatoes).
  3. Prepare a sauce using dairy-free substitutes like coconut milk or cashew cream.
