Gluten Free Shepherds Pie

Asked on 14 Nov 2016 by Kim Berti

Hi Delia/Lindsey
I make your Shepherd's Pie regularly(!) and I am having people over to dinner in a couple of weeks who haven't sampled it yet. However, one of my guests is gluten intolerant. I will be using turkey mince as the lady doesn't eat red meat either; but what ingredients in your leek crusted pie will I need to substitute to ensure I am using gluten-free options? Many thanks!

Lindsey, Food Editor replied

Hello Kim,

Based on this recipe, it’s only the flour that needs to be substituted.

You could use cornflour or potato flour.

When it comes to origin and tradition, the Italians know the value of their culinary heritage with each region celebrating the produce its rightly famous for. But how do you know you're buying the real deal?

The key is to look for the distinctive red and yellow PDO mark - Protected Designation of Origin. It’s your guarantee of authentic regional flavour, perfected over centuries and made to exacting traditional standards.
