Quest 95: Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs


On my last trip to Crescent Island in Oracle of Ages, I admired the tropical theme and started thinking about recipes that involved pineapple and other tropical fruits. I also like the flavors of sweet and sour, but it is hard to find at a restaurant that is gluten free. So with all of this in mind, I give you Crescent Island Tropical Meatballs - Enjoy!

Gear!
1 1/2 lb ground beef
3/4 c GF bread crumbs
1/2 c finely minced onion
1 egg
1 t course salt
1/4 c milk
1/2 t freshly grated ginger
2 T cornstarch
1/2 c dark brown sugar
1 can pineapple chunks, in juice
1/3 c white vinegar
1 T tamari or GF Soy Sauce
1/2 c sweet peppers, chopped

Quest!
Note: This is the stove top version of this recipe, but this can easily be transferred to a slow cooker application. Enjoy!
 Let's make the meatballs! In a bowl, add beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, salt, ginger and milk. Mix together - though you don't want to over mix. Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.

 Mix cornstarch and brown sugar in enamel dutch oven.
 Add pineapple juice - hold onto the chunks for now. Add in vinegar and tamari. Stir until smooth.
 Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture become thick and bubbly. Boil for 1 minute.
 Add pineapple chunks and bell peppers - shredded carrots might be lovely as well.

 Add in meatballs and cook covered for 12-15 minutes until cooked through over medium heat. It might be nice to start some rice too.
 All cooked through!

Serve over rice and enjoy!

Quest 66: Cucco Enchiladas


The cuccos are running amok once again leaving a lot of tasty tasty in their wake. So today we will put these leftovers to good use with cucco enchiladas. Enjoy!









Gear!
2 large chicken breasts
1 16 oz. can re-fried beans
1 cup rice, prepared
GF soft tortillas 
8 oz. enchilada sauce
8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded

Quest!

Acquire some chicken! I am not going to ask from where. If you can eat rotisserie chicken - good for you.  I like to slow cook my chicken breasts in tequila and lime juice and chicken broth on high for 2 hours. It shreds really easily and tastes super nummy.
Prep your soft tortillas by spreading re-fried beans on them. I am using rice flour tortillas, but corn or any kind will work as long as it is soft. Top with rice.
Rice recipe: - Makes 2+ cups of rice
1 cup rice, uncooked
2 cup water, tequila, and lime juice (that's all together 2 cups, not each)
2 T. GF Taco Seasoning Mix
1 t. Chili Powder
Bring everything up to a boil in a sauce pan. Top with a lid, shut off the heat and walk away for 20 minutes.

Add the chicken to the tortilla.
Add shredded cheese. At this point, you could also add fresh jalapenos or other favorite chili pepper.
Roll up and place in a sprayed 9 inch square pan. Repeat until the pan is full.
Top with GF enchilada sauce - I have found one I like in the store, but I am sure you can reduce down some tomato sauce in a sauce pan with chili powder and cumin and get the same effect.
Add more cheese and bake in a 400 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and delicious.
Enjoy!

Quest 45: Mushroom, Mushroom, Tuna Noodle Casserole!

You can take all those lovely mushrooms and use them to create the base of a great Hyrulian classic dish: Tuna noodle casserole. Now, I know what you’re thinking - why would I do that instead of using cream of mushroom soup? Well, first it tastes delicious. Secondly, this is gluten free. Enjoy!

3 cups of GF chicken stock
1 T.  arrowroot or tapioca powder
2 cups gluten free egg noodles - uncooked
2 cans of tuna in water, drained
1 T. GF Dijon Mustard
2 T. chopped parsley
1/8 cup dried shitake mushrooms
1 cup of frozen peas
1 cup of half and half or cream
1 T. butter
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup gluten free bread crumbs

Quest:

In your slow cooker, add a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. Then you can add the chicken stock and arrowroot powder and stir together. Add in all other ingredients except for 1/2 cup of cheese and the bread crumbs. Stir together. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.


Top with the remaining cheese and bread crumbs.







Let melt and enjoy!
