Heres another link I came across about the Debate over Rice

http://gfkitchen.server101.com/rice.htm

Is Rice Really Gluten Free ?

The concern with rice is not with the rice
itself, but the coatings that are applied to enriched rice to add vitamins to the grain itself. Rice itself is gluten free, but enriched rice is
rice that has been sprayed with a vitamin coating and some fear that the coating could contain a gluten based grain.

Here are some gluten free enriched rice sources that I have confirmed to be gluten free. We are currently verifying the gluten free status of
other rice manufacturers and will post them as soon as we have the results.

  Gluten Free Grilled Chicken Ratatouille

  We gave this classic Provençal dish a taste of summer by grilling the vegetables traditionally used in ratatouille (bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, tomato). Topped with grilled chicken, it makes an easy main course for summer entertaining. We like fresh marjoram and basil to complement the flavors, but any fresh herb will work. Serve with polenta and a glass of Pinot Noir.

  4 servings

  Active Time: 45 minutes

  Total Time: 45 minutes

   

  Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 chopped fresh marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Canola or olive oil cooking spray
  • 1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise, stemmed and seeded
  • 1 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
  • 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and tenders removed (see Note)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

  
  

  Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Combine oil, basil, marjoram and salt in a small bowl and reserve 1 tablespoon of the mixture in another small bowl; set aside.
  3. Coat both sides of bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, tomato and onion pieces with cooking spray. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until soft and charred in spots, about 5 minutes per side for the pepper, 4 minutes per side for the eggplant and zucchini and 3 minutes per side for the tomatoes and onion.
  4. Rub the tablespoon of reserved herb mixture on both sides of chicken and sprinkle with pepper. Grill the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  5. Meanwhile, transfer the grilled vegetables to a cutting board and chop into 1-inch pieces. Return to the bowl and toss with vinegar and the remaining herb mixture. Serve the grilled chicken with the ratatouille.

  Tips & Notes

  • Note: It's difficult to find an individual chicken breast small enough for one portion. Removing the thin strip of meat from the underside of a 5-ounce breast—the “tender”—removes about 1 ounce of meat and yields a perfect 4-ounce portion. Wrap and freeze the tenders and when you have gathered enough, use them in a stir-fry or for oven-baked chicken fingers

Hot Artichoke Dip Recipe - Gluten-Free + Vegan

This is the easiest vegan party dip ever. Not to mention, creamy and fabulous. I used a bag of Trader Joe's frozen artichoke hearts, as I didn't want the oiliness of jarred artichoke hearts. And as for the "buttered" almond topping, if you need to avoid nuts, you can substitute the almonds for your favorite "buttered" breadcrumbs.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

You'll need:
Thawed frozen artichoke hearts - Trader Joe's 12 ounce bag
1 peeled garlic clove
1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
1/2 cup Vegenaise or your favorite vegan mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain vegan soy yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon vegan "Parmesan"
1 tablespoon white wine or fresh lemon juice 
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of ground pepper

Dump the thawed artichoke hearts and the peeled garlic clove into the bowl of a food processor and pulse on and off to chop rather fine. Scoop the chopped artichokes and garlic into a mixing bowl. Add in the finely diced onion (I don't bother to dice this small amount of onion in the processor). Add the Vegenaise, soy yogurt, vegan "Parm", white wine or lemon juice, sea salt and pepper. Mix together to blend well. Spoon into a smallish baking dish or crock. Set aside.

Make your topping:
1 tablespoon of vegan butter spread (I used Earth Balance)
3 tablespoons of sliced almonds (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)

Melt the vegan buttery spread in a small skillet and add the sliced almonds. Stir to coat. Add the buttered almonds to the top of the artichoke dip. Bake in the center of a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, till bubbly around the edges and heated through. Serve with Gluten-Free Crackers or thin toasted slices of these Gluten-Free Baguettes. Makes roughly 2 cups of dip.
