Why it works

  • Celiac disease: The filling thickens with cornstarch and the stock is gluten-free, so there's no flour anywhere in the pie.
  • Milk allergy: The mash gets its creaminess from olive oil instead of butter or milk, with rosemary stirred through.

Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
