MOUTHWATERING CRAB CAKES FROM THE CHESAPEAKE BAY

From Maureen Murphy, Sudlersville, Maryland

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Chesapeake Bay crab meat (backfin or lump)

• 3/8 cup plain gluten-free breadcrumbs

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon wet mustard

• 1 tablespoon“Old Bay” seasoning

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine all ingredients except crabmeat and olive oil and mix thoroughly. Gently mix in crab, which has already been cooked and “picked” from the shell. Form into patties, wrap each patty in waxed paper, and refrigerate for one hour. Heat olive oil over medium heat and fry crab cakes for several minutes, until lightly browned on both sides. Makes approximately six crab cakes.

THREE SIMPLE SUMMER SALADS

From Mary Frances McFadden, Jackson Township, New Jersey

Using the same dressing for a base, you can create three different salads with a bit of mixing and matching. Feel free to get creative once you get the basics!

BASIC SALAD DRESSING

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup apple cider or white vinegar

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Pinch of black pepper

• 1 teaspoon celery seed

• Fresh herbs of your choice (parsley, rosemary, thyme, dill, or other)

CUCUMBER SALAD

Peel one or two cucumbers and slice into rounds. Use English cucumbers or peel if skin is tough. Place in bowl. Thoroughly mix or shake ingredients for dressing and pour over cucumbers. Chill well in refrigerator before serving.

COLE SLAW

Peel and grate two carrots and one-half green cabbage and place in bowl. Pour dressing over bowl and refrigerate.

SPINACH SALAD

This one is slightly more complicated, but well worth the effort if you’re a bacon fan. Fry three strips of bacon until crisp and remove from pan. Remove all but one teaspoon of bacon fat from the pan. Add dressing* and bring mixture to a boil. Pour dressing over one pound of freshly washed and dried spinach. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top of salad.

*Herbs are optional.

Now that you’ve learned the basics of the gluten-free diet, let’s travel to Southern Italy for a delicious gluten-free meal featuring some of my favorite recipes.
