Gluten-free dinners

Chops and cutlets

Pair up your favourite chops and cutlets with rice or mashed potato to soak up all the delicious sauce. Just remember to double-check that all your sauces and marinades are gluten free to ensure there's no unwanted surprises. Add a salad on the side and you have an easy dinner everyone will love.

Bolognaise and ragu

Just because wheat is out of the question doesn't mean you can't enjoy your favourite pasta dishes. Try picking up a rice pasta, or another gluten free variety, to use instead. Failing that, you can also enjoy this sauce spooned over buttery polenta, just like in northern Italy.

Rice paper rolls

Simple, fun and full of fresh flavours, rice paper rolls make a great hands-on dinner that you can make ahead and feast on whenever you're ready. Make sure you pair them up with nuoc cham , the dipping sauce of choice.

Rice Paper Rolls

Rice bake

From old-school tuna, to a creamy risotto, you can't beat a rice bake for a fuss-free meal to warm you up. Add a simple salad to make this a meal to stretch and serve a crowd.

Chilli con carne

If you're looking for a meal that could feed an army, and get you through the depths of winter, then look no further than the humble chilli. Hailing from the American south, this spicy classic is gluten free and includes flinty of dietary fibre in the red kidney beans.

Stir fries

For an easy, gluten-free dinner that can be on the table in a matter of minutes, you can't beat a simple stir-fry. Remember to double-check all your seasonings and sauces, as most soy sauce isn't gluten free, and many thick sauces – such as oyster and hoi sin – can include wheat as a thickener.

Serve them up with…

Often, it's not the main dish, but the accompaniments that can be trickiest to get gluten free. With regular pasta and bread off limits, here are a few of our favourite accompaniments, that are just as easy to pull together:

Polenta

Polenta is easy to prepare, but needs a little dedication – and constant stirring – to ensure it's lump-free. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packet for the type you have, or cook it up using one of these recipes.

Rice

Rice can be as simple, or ornate as you'd like. If you're looking for a fancy way to present it, these recipes can help make it shine.

Beans

Filling, warming and packed full of flavour – and fibre – beans are one of the best sides to any meal. Try making them in bulk and keeping some in the freezer to grab when needed.
