Orange Honey Duck (G,D,R,S)

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Red Meat Free, Soy Free, Orange Honey Duck

A delicious, high class orange honey duck dish, fit for royalty. This meal is a firm favorite for those looking to impress their guests/date.

This meal has a lot of orange in it, so it’s a “Medium” Acid Rating. If you’re not good with the acid from oranges, I would give it a miss.

Rating Medium: This can be quite a fiddly dish to make initially, hence the amber rating but once you get the hang of it, is actually super simple, and quite impressively tasty!

Joojeh Kebab (G,D,R,S)

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Red Meat Free, Soy Free, Joojeh Kebab

A mouthwatering Persian style chicken kebab. This is one of my all time favorites!

This is probably a “Medium” Acid Rating (has a reasonable amount of lemon juice), but mixing it with the Greek style yogurt means it’s not an issue.

Minimal ingredients needed for these fantastic pizzas. My favourite is definitely the coconut cheese as its tastes fantastic and avoids any sort of animal product – fantastic for vegans.

– Tomato Puree
– Toppings Of Your Choosing (I used Tuna and Anchovies)

Total time Estimate:

Prep – 5 mins

Instructions

Pre-requisites:

1) Cover pizza base in a layer of tomato puree – spread evenly. Alternatively if you only have gluten free pittas this works just as well. Do not cut open the pitta. Simply layer the ingredients on top of the pitta.
2) Sprinkle mixed herbs all over the base
3) Grate cheese over the pizza
4) Add toppings (tuna and anchovies)
