Ingredients

For this gluten-free cottage pie, you will need the following ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced (use green parts only for low FODMAP)
2 carrots, diced
2 celery sticks, diced
500g ground beef or lamb
2 tablespoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup beef broth (ensure gluten-free)
2 cups frozen peas
For the topping:
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup almond milk (or dairy-free alternative)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary, optional)

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get cooking!

Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 400°F).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until they’re softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ground meat to the skillet, breaking it apart with your spoon, and cook until browned evenly.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and beef broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add in the frozen peas.
While the meat mixture is simmering, boil the peeled potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, around 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add almond milk and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the meat mixture in an even layer in a baking dish, then top with the mashed potatoes. Use a fork to create a texture on top that’ll get beautifully crispy in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Let it sit for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy your gluten-free cottage pie with a side salad or some crusty gluten-free bread. It’s a dish that’s sure to impress and comfort!
