Clam Stir Fry - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 18

Before learning to live a gluten free lifestyle, fried clams were a favorite restaurant meal. Sadly, most restaurant clams come frozen and prepared in a gluten breading. Most grocery stores carry canned gluten free clams. A gluten free breading, partially cornmeal based, could be prepared at home. Then, the clam juice could be saved and used to flavor another dish. Clam stir fry is a great dish for something different to eat. It doesn't require much preparation time or physical energy. A seafood stir fry can introduce different textures of common food, and the unexpected flavors of special occasion foods.
