Kosher Gluten Free Recipes 

Real recipes approved by my family and my most unforgiving critic me.  I am not a foodie, nor am I a chef I am a guy who likes to eat. I used to joke I don’t drink, smoke, gamble, do drugs or cheat on my wife. Food was my weakness. I eat when I am happy, sad, stressed etc. My wife says that I cook what I want to eat. That is true.  Here are the recipes that I like to eat.

Several years ago I decided I needed a hobby and I started cooking. My family is gluten intolerant. They are not celiac but we have Celiac disease on my wife side of the family. So whenever I cook a meal for the family it has to be gluten free meal.

We keep a Kosher house and are shomer Shabbat. Being shomer Shabbat means that we keep the mitzvot, or commandments, related to the Sabbath, which starts on Friday at twilight and finishes on Saturday after sunset.

One of the traditions for an observant Jewish home is having a nice meal on Friday night and Saturday lunch. Some have compared the Sabbath meal as to having two American Thanksgiving meals a week.

The meals I make for the Sabbath are always gluten free meals, so we can enjoy them as a family. What is Kosher Keeping Kosher

 

The word “kosher” has become associated with the connotation of “proper” or “acceptable” in English. However, kosher laws derive from the Bible and are expounded upon in the Talmud and other Jewish tradition codes. Breaking it down to the basics there are three types of Kosher.

Meat
Dairy
Pareve
Foods that are meat are either chicken, beef or lamb, dairy is any food that has dairy in and Pareve are foods which have neither meat or dairy such as fruits, vegetables, eggs and other items with neither milk or meat in them.

As with any religious discussion there are differences as to the level of Kashrut one follows. For this site I am keeping it simple all the recipes and products that I link to have a Kosher certifications that my family abides by. If you have specific questions you can ask my or please talk to your Rabbi as I am not a Rabbinic. If you are looking for a good online resource check out the Chicago Rabbinical Council they have a lot of useful information. 

As I said I am not a chef. I never went to culinary school but my Grandmother was Fay the cook at the Academy the Jewish high school in Chicago for decades. Ask anyone who went there in the 1970’s through the 1980’s and they will remember her. While in high school I would hang out with her before school and during many of my free periods. I guess besides for eating a lot of food some of her skills rubbed off on me.

There is a Yiddish word “shitteryne”. It is not a swear word rather it means cooking by sight and hand. She would joke that she was a shitty cook. Which could not have been further from the truth.

My recipes for gluten free meals follow the “shitteryne” school of cooking. But so the recipes are repeatable I give measurements when applicable. My family and I have approved every gluten free recipe that I post. I will give credit to others for their recipes, several were made by me or I have modified over time using elements by combining several recipes.

This can also be done the same day as the brining as long as the mixture has time to be chilled.
  • Slice the lemons and oranges add to the brine
  • Place the turkey in the brine and make sure it is cold.
  • Add more cold water to the pot to make sure the turkey is submerged
  • Make sure the oranges and lemons are dispersed evenly around the pot
  • Put the turkey into the refrigerator overnight for 12 to 16 hours.

  • Take the turkey out of the refrigerator and place onto a stainless steel roasting pan or cookie sheet
  • Cover generously with the the rub
  • Pour the apple juice or wine onto the bottom of the pan / cookie sheet
  • Place in the smoker checking every hour to make sure there is liquid under the turkey
  • If you have place a thermometer into the turkey so can monitor the internal temperature
  • The turkey will be in the smoker for about three and half - 4 hours or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit or 74 Celsius.
  • Let the turkey sit for half an hour or refrigerate and eat at room temperature over the next couple of days. My family prefers to eat the turkey room temperature the next day.

Gluten Free Smoked Pulled Chicken

Gluten Free Smoked Shredded Chicken one of my Kosher Gluten Free Recipes

When we lived in Chicago my family loved the Chicken Nacho dish at Milt's Barbecue for the Perplexed. As a side they offer gluten friendly items on the menu. Recently my wife was in Chicago and she went to her friends house for a meal and was served a version of the recipe.
The recipe that she served was from the website Sugarspunrun.com, but it called for a crockpot. Since we do not have a crockpot, I checked out the Traeger website and found their recipe for shredded chicken. Then I called my cousin, who likes to smoke, and asked for his input. In the end, I combined all the information to make my own recipe that, as the Colonel would say it is finger licking good.
This recipe can be a side dish or a main course. Once the chicken is pulled, serve it on a bed of nacho chips and cover with diced tomatoes, avocado, and drizzle garlic mayo on top.
I hope you enjoy this kosher gluten free recipe as much as my family did.

gluten free eggroll in a bowl

Gluten Free Eggroll in a Bowl

My wife is always on the lookout for new recipes to try. Last month, she sent me two recipes that she found on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CSVJ4XqHn/?mibextid=wwXIfr
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1FmgaN5T2w/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Both recipes are similar, with the one from Stacey Jobe recommending adding Korean BBQ sauce to the finished meal. We added gluten free teriyaki sauce and gluten free soy sauce. The Homemade Food Junkie added green onions as a garnish, which I do not care for, so I skipped them. I also skipped the Hoisin sauce, since I have never seen a Kosher Gluten Free Hoisin sauce. If you have, please let me know where you found it.
The version of the recipe you will see is my version, made with a kilo of ground dark turkey meat. My first attempt was close, but it needed some tweaking. After adjusting the recipe, I am ready to share it. My family really enjoyed it, so it will join the rotation of regular meals, and it has become one of the family's go-to Kosher Gluten Free Recipes.

Honey Garlic Schnitzel

Honey Garlic Schnitzel

If you are looking for a new twist on schnitzel, then you need to make this recipe. I wish I could say I created it, but the credit goes to Sarah Lasry. https://sarahmlasry.com/hot-honey-garlic-schnitzel
My wife had found this recipe before I started this website, and I couldn't believe I hadn't shared it with you. The recipe calls for Golden Taste Salads Garlic Dip, but since it is not available in Israel, I substituted it with my Garlic Mayo dressing, which I have also listed on the website.
If you are looking for a recipe dripping with flavor that is baked and not fried, this Honey Garlic Schnitzel is a sweet and savory twist on an Israeli classic.

Rotisserie Chicken

Last week, my wife suggested we have rotisserie chicken for Shabbat dinner. Luckily, our barbecue has a rotisserie attachment. We hadn't had rotisserie chicken in over four years, and with the heat outside, it was going to be our main course.
I looked online and found a bunch of recipes because I didn't remember how we made it last time. I saw lots of recipes that called for fancy rubs. I took a page out of the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) playbook and used seasoning we had in the house.
To the guy in the video who made it look easy, trussing the chickens on the spit, I say you are talented. For the rest of us, I recommend trussing the chickens before putting them on the spit.
Rotisserie chicken is a straightforward, kosher, gluten free recipe if you have a barbecue with a rotisserie attachment.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Three Ingredient Gluten Free Apricot Chicken

Three Ingredient Gluten Free Apricot Chicken

A few weeks ago, my wife mentioned an apricot chicken recipe she used to make and suggested we bring it back for Shabbat.
Sounded like a great idea — until she couldn’t find it anywhere in her bookmarks.
I said, “No worries — my new best friend ChatGPT won’t let me down.”
Sure enough, a few minutes later we had it:
Apricot preserves, mayonnaise, and minced onion.
Three simple ingredients — and it turned out just as good as we remembered.
We may never know who first created the recipe, but whoever she was — thank you for the inspiration.
And thank you to ChatGPT for finding it.

Smoked Chicken

Smoked Chicken one of my Kosher Gluten Free Recipes

A few months ago, a friend asked if it was possible to smoke chicken breasts since he had been to our house, where I served smoked turkey. I said it was, but I had never done it.
After some trial and error, I reached the point where I am comfortable sharing it with everyone.
I have used the same recipe for both chicken breasts as well as pargit (boneless chicken thighs)
I hope you enjoy my version of Smoked Chicken, one of my Kosher Gluten Free Recipes.
Prep Time 10 hours
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • 1 pellet smoker
  • 1 stainless steel or aluminum pan
  • 1 food safe scissors

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the pellet smoker to 225℉ or 108℃ and let it pre heat
  • While heating, trim excess fat, grizzle, or anything else the butcher did not clean off of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken in the pan
  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the seasoning rub
  • Pour apple juice to cover about a 1/4 of the chicken
  • Place in the smoker until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ or 74℃.
    Please note that the smoking process takes about 90 minutes. However, be sure to check the thermometer, as the thickness of the chicken will affect the cooking time. Generally, chicken breasts are thicker and will take a little longer to reach the desired temperature.
Turkey Schnitzel

Glute Free Turkey Schnitzel

A couple of months ago in my newsletter, I featured a brand called Eshbal–Barili. At the time, I had only sampled their granola bites.
Last week, I tried something new: Turkey schnitzel made with Eshbal–Barili Gluten-Free Baked Crumbs.
I’ll be honest — I still haven’t perfected pan-frying — but the schnitzels came out delicious, thanks in large part to the texture and consistency of these crumbs. The crumbs were excellent — they stuck perfectly to the turkey, crisped up nicely, and once seasoned, dinner was a total win (and so were the leftovers!).
If you’re looking for a solid gluten-free option next time you make schnitzel, I highly recommend giving Eshbal–Barili Gluten-Free Baked Crumbs a try.
PS: The label is in Hebrew, so look for the bag that says פירורי מאפה.

Sushi bowl

Easy to Make Sushi Bowl

One of our family's favorite recipe for a Shabbat meal is a Sushi Bowl. Like all my recipes, I am all for the simple. I do not make sushi rice; if you want to, there are many recipes available online. However, for those who miss the sweet taste of sushi rice without the fuss, we use Marukan Sweet and Tangy Flavor Rice Vinegar. Sprinkle it on, and you have sushi rice.
Gluten Free Soy Sauce is readily available in Israel or you can try Big Tree Farms teriyaki sauce or Big Tree Farms Coconut Aminos .
I also want to apologize for the image. Since we serve this on Shabbat, (and yesterday on Shavuote) I have never been able to take a picture, so thank you, AI, for helping out creating an image.

Did you know that, spaghetti squash is currently in season? One of my favorite side dishes is spaghetti squash with tomato sauce. However, since each spaghetti squash varies in size, you’ll need to taste as you go with this recipe.

honey sumac carrots in a white bowl

Honey Sumac Roasted Carrots

As many of you know, my wife is always on the lookout for new recipes to try.
About a month ago, she came across a recipe for Honey Sumac Roasted Carrots by Over Time Cook (click link to see original recipe) and insisted we give it a try.
We didn’t have pomegranate arils or fresh parsley on hand (both were optional garnishes), so we skipped them — and let me tell you… it was still incredible.
Now… if you’re not familiar with sumac, here’s the quick version:
It’s a Middle Eastern spice made from dried, ground berries.
Flavor: slightly tangy, lemony, and bright — it adds instant depth to a dish without overpowering it.
This was my first time using it, and I’m officially a fan.
After one bite, we all agreed this recipe was a keeper — so thank you Over Time Cook for sharing it!

Easy French Fries

Easy Three Ingredient French Fries

One of my favorite side dishes is French fries. Yes, I am a big kid. French fries go great with so many meals, especially barbeque, which we do a lot.
Potatoes themselves are not the problem, but when you deep-fry them, the calories start to add up, not to mention the mess.
Here is an easy method that I use to make French fries almost as good as those from a restaurant deep fryer, and they are made with only three ingredients.
Hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.
Prep Time 5 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 cookie sheet may need 2 depending on how many people you are serving
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 food safe glove

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Bag of frozen French fires (you choose the thickness and the brand)
  • 1 olive oil
  • 1 Simply Organic all seasons salt or a flavored salt of your choice a link to the product is below

Instructions
 

  • Place parchment paper on cookie tray
  • Preheat oven per the bags instructions usually 357℉ / 190℃
  • Place frozen fires on tray unless bag instructions say otherwise
  • Drizzle olive oil over the fries
  • Sprinkle all seasons salt on fries
  • Mix on tray
  • Repeat process until all fries are coated with olive oil and all seasons salt
  • Bake in the oven per bag instructions but I find it take at least 35 minutes and you might have to increase the temperature a little at the end to make them crispier.

Gluten Free Apple Crumble

Gluten Free Apple Crumble

A family favorite for Rosh Hashanah. This recipe was made by combining several recipes.
Please note: Oats are naturally gluten free, which means you can enjoy them as part of a healthy gluten-free lifestyle. The key is to look for oats labeled gluten free, since regular oats are often processed in facilities with wheat or barley, creating a risk of cross-contamination. Choosing certified gluten-free oats gives you peace of mind that they’re safe to eat.

cake in a mug

Gluten Free Cake in a Mug

My daughter is a madricaha or counselor for Bnai Akiva. For those unfamiliar with it, Bnai Akiva is a global Jewish religious Zionist youth movement.
Last week, in the wake of the war with Iran, they chose to do their weekly activity via Zoom. She and her fellow madrichim or counselors used our kitchen to Zoom, "The easiest chocolate cake in the world, in a mug"   a recipe that was found on https://www.mako.co.il/food-recipes/recipes_column-cakes/chocolate_cakes/Recipe-7ade612a571e621004.htm?Partner=searchResults
The recipe is in Hebrew, so I translated it. Is this recipe the greatest cake in the world? Not really, but it's good and, more importantly, a fun activity for kids.
Though the original recipe was not gluten-free, my daughter subbed gluten-free flour to make her chocolate cake in a mug.
Thank you to my daughter, who made another "cake in a mug" for this week's post.

chocolate depression cake

Gluten Free Chocolate Depression Cake

This simple yet rich chocolate cake is inspired by two sources — a classic Reddit “Depression Cake” recipe and Milk Street’s Coffee-Infused Version. The result is a moist, deeply flavorful cake that’s quick to make and surprisingly indulgent despite its humble ingredients.
We tested both versions and found that swapping the water for coffee (as Milk Street suggests) really enhances the chocolate flavor. Using Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour worked perfectly — you’d never know it’s gluten free.
The cake stands beautifully on its own without frosting, but you can add a light chocolate glaze if you like. Either way, it’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that happens to be gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.
Recipe inspired by community contributions on Reddit and Milk Street.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat over to 350°℉/ 177℃
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking soda and salt, breaking up any lumps of cocoa and sugar
  • Then mix in the wet ingredients
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for about 55 minutes. Check that the cake is fully cooked—if needed, continue baking until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and dry.
  • Take the cake out of the over and let cool
  • While the cake is cooling make the frosting
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. If you’re impatient like us, place it in the fridge for a few minutes to help it along to shorten cooling time, once it’s no longer hot. Then frost and enjoy.
gluten free chocolate crinkle cookies

Gluten Free Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

This is an easy gluten free cookie recipe. Please do not make the same mistake I did and read the whole recipe first. I was rushing and thought I had this recipe under control… until I pulled the cookies out of the oven and realized I’d completely skipped the part about rolling the dough in powdered sugar. Everything had already baked — OOPS — so I improvised and dusted them after the fact. Surprisingly? Still delicious.

Gluten Free blonde brownies

Gluten Free Blonde Brownies

One of my favorite desserts that my mother-in-law makes is her blond brownies. The original recipe comes from the Amit Women Galila Chapter cookbook, Plain and Fancy.
A few weeks ago, my daughter suggested we try making them gluten-free. The result was a huge hit—though we did learn one important lesson: even chocolate has its limits. We ended up adjusting the amount of chocolate chips, because believe it or not, there can be too much chocolate in a recipe.
Below you will find the original recipe adjusted to be gluten free and doubled.
