Silver Dollar Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce

Gluten Free is becoming one of our most popular requests here at Catering By Teatime.  This year it seems to be in every other
contract, at least one or two items that do not contain gluten,  and
that doesn’t just mean bread or wheat products.  Did you know that soy
sauce contains gluten?   We create menus around those
ingredients to serve our customers’ dietary requests.
Silver Dollar Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce is an
easy fix, we simply prepare our regular recipe and substitute Gluten
Free bread crumbs.  The sauce is already GF,  and the appetizer is not
only GF it is also Dairy Free,  DF.

 At a recent wedding reception in Washington DC we served Bacon Wrapped Dates, again GF as well as Dairy Free.

 At another Northern Virginia wedding reception we served Sauteed Tenderloin
Tips in a Peppercorn Cream, in these darling little spoons.  GF.

Our Assorted Domestic and Imported Cheeses and Crackers accompanied by Rice Crackers.

 Ruth’s Signature Apple Wood Smoked Sugar Spiced Salmon Fillet
with Rice Crackers.  This is Ruth’s secret spice rub smoked with our own apple wood.  Served recently at Old Town Hall in Fairfax Va www.weddingsinfairfax.com

 Our famous Gazpacho Shooters can be made with Gluten Free bread
for a refreshing spring or summer appetizer when our local Northern Virginia farmer’s
markets are brimming with awesome tomatoes. This caterer religiously shops in Fairfax VA every week.

Chilled Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce a GREAT appetizer

Of course you can NEVER go wrong with a chilled Shrimp Appetizer, here served with fresh Garlic and Lime.  GF and DF.

OR:  as a passed gluten free appetizer, again at Old Town Hall in
Fairfax VA, one of our most popular Northern Virginia  catering venues. www.weddingsinfairfax.com

  An Anti Pasti Display can be completely Gluten Free.
These are examples of GF appetizers you can select for your
wedding reception cocktail hour, or any event you want to celebrate.  So
many regular appetizers can be retooled as Gluten Free, although not all recipes adapt.  Please feel free to run ideas by Ruth, and if we
can’t substitute directly, we are confident we can brainstorm some ideas
and come up with the perfect menu.

Whether it’s Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Peanut Allergy, Tree Nut
Allergy, Kosher Style Menu, or any other dietary challenge you bring to
us, we are more than happy to assist with your catering needs and create
delicious and healthy alternatives.
Just ask my brother Chris about the GF Russian Teacakes that
traveled from Northern Virginia to Maine so he could still enjoy my
childhood confection!!
