Gluten-Free station build

This station is intentionally conservative. It starts with a verified launch set, then separates additional recipes into a conditional review section with recipe-specific qualification notes so the library stays credible and operationally safe.

Station status

The Gluten-Free station is now live. The top section is the approved launch set, now expanded with strong salad, dip, and sauce additions. The second section remains a working queue of conditional candidates that can move up after ingredient and service verification.

How to read this station

Verified launch means the current hosted recipe text already supports a restrained GF path. Conditional candidate means the core dish may work, but specific products or service extras still need approval before any hard GF commitment.

No sloppy tags Ingredient review Service-aware

Verified launch set

GFVE / VG / DFRice

Diri Kole ak Pwa

Haitian rice and kidney beans with epis, thyme, onion, and chile. Current hosted recipe text already supports a clean GF placement.

Recommendation: keep this as a core GF plant-based anchor. Maintain the recipe as written and protect it from cross-contact on service.
GFVE / VG / DFRice

Vegetable Jolly Rice

Vegetable rice with broth, tomato, peppers, ginger, and warm spice. The current hosted build already reads as a strong GF-compatible plant-based base.

Recommendation: treat optional chicken add-in as a separate service choice and preserve the GF/plant-based base version as the station default.
GF-verified buildDFBeef

Mongolian Beef

Fast beef stir-fry with a tamari-based sauce and cornstarch build. This qualifies only when the kitchen stays on the tamari version reflected in the hosted recipe.

Recommendation: approve for GF service only when tamari and all sauce inputs remain verified GF. Do not swap in standard soy sauce.
GFVegetarianSalad

Greek Cucumber Tomato Feta Salad

Cucumber, tomato, feta, parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. The hosted recipe supports a clean GF placement as written.

Recommendation: add as a reliable cold GF option. Dairy remains part of the dish, but gluten is not introduced in the current build.
GFVE / VG / DFDip

Edamame Hummus

Edamame-based hummus with tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. The hosted recipe reads GF as written.

Recommendation: approve as a clean GF dip, but pair it with vegetables or GF crackers rather than pita when presenting through the GF path.
GFVE / VG / DFSauce

Pineapple Chili Sauce

Sweet-spicy pineapple sauce with clean hosted ingredients and no obvious gluten source in the current recipe text.

Recommendation: add as a GF condiment/accessory item and keep product sourcing aligned with the hosted build.

Conditional GF candidates

Conditional GFVegetarianRice

Veg Biryani

Spiced rice dish with yogurt and whole spices. The current hosted page already states GF is conditional.

Recommendation: can move into full GF only after ingredient verification and cross-contact controls are confirmed. Keep yogurt/ghee handling separate from gluten review.
Conditional GFVE / VGHot entrée

Thai Basil Eggplant

Eggplant, tofu, peppers, onion, basil, and hoisin-tamari sauce. Strong candidate, but the sauce package drives the GF decision.

Recommendation: approve only if both hoisin and tamari/soy inputs are specifically verified gluten-free. Without that check, leave it conditional.
Conditional GFDFChicken

Thai Basil Chicken

Thai stir-fry with basil, chili, and soy-oyster sauce. Gluten status depends on the bottled sauces, not the base protein.

Recommendation: only certify GF when oyster sauce and soy sauce are both verified GF substitutions or approved GF products.
Conditional GFDFSkewers

Chicken Satay

Grilled chicken skewers with peanut sauce. Current hosted notes already avoid a GF claim because soy sauce is listed.

Recommendation: promote only if soy sauce is replaced with a verified GF substitute and the peanut sauce follows that same rule.
Conditional GFDFSkewers

Beef Satay

Grilled beef skewers with curry-coconut marinade and peanut sauce. Soy sauce in the sauce keeps it conditional.

Recommendation: approve only after soy sauce is replaced or verified GF and the sauce build is locked to that version.
Conditional GFDFSeafood

Salmon Panang Curry

Thai-style salmon curry with coconut milk, fish sauce, and panang curry paste. The packaged curry inputs are the critical GF variable.

Recommendation: keep conditional until both curry paste and fish sauce are verified GF at the product level.
Conditional GFBeefSkewers

Nigerian Beef Suya

Spiced beef skewers with tomato and onion. The suya spice blend determines whether this can graduate into verified GF.

Recommendation: verify the exact suya spice blend in use before making any GF promise. The base format is promising, but the blend decides it.
Conditional GFBeansSouthern

Smoked Sausage & Black-Eyed Peas

Slow-simmered black-eyed peas with sausage and chicken stock. Product choices and cornbread service keep this in review.

Recommendation: only move to verified GF if the sausage is GF-approved and the cornbread/service bread is removed or replaced with a GF service plan.
Conditional GFChickenSpicy

Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken

The base chicken recipe is bread-free, but the classic service extras introduce risk.

Recommendation: viable as GF only when served without white bread and with approved GF accompaniments. Keep ranch optional unless separately verified.
Conditional GFRicePuerto Rican

Arroz Con Gandules

Rice with pigeon peas, sofrito, seasoning, and optional pork components. Stock and bouillon are the GF gatekeepers here.

Recommendation: keep conditional until bouillon, stock, and optional meat additions are reviewed and locked to GF-compatible products.
Conditional GFThai saladSeafood notes

Som Tum

Thai green papaya salad with lime, chili, peanuts, beans, tomatoes, fish sauce, and dried shrimp. The listed ingredients do not introduce an obvious gluten source, but pantry-product verification still matters.

Recommendation: can stay in the GF review tier when fish sauce and dried shrimp sourcing are confirmed and the dish is presented as seafood-based, not vegetarian. Keep it out of any vegan/vegetarian crossover messaging.
Conditional GFDessertBaking powder check

Orange Cake

Whole-orange almond cake with no flour listed. The hosted recipe already frames this as conditional because the gluten question lives in the baking powder specification.

Recommendation: approve for GF dessert service only when baking powder is specifically confirmed gluten-free and standard cross-contact controls are in place. Keep the current caution language visible until that product is locked.
Conditional GFDessertIngredient verification

Champagne Mousse

Chilled mousse with champagne, egg yolks, gelatin, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and optional fruit garnish. The hosted recipe does not claim GF outright and keeps the decision tied to full ingredient confirmation.

Recommendation: include only as a conditional dessert candidate until every packaged ingredient is reviewed and approved for GF service. Treat garnish and any finishing additions with the same verification standard.
