A gluten free pastry crust over a rich, hearty, untraditional seafood pot pie, makes for the perfect indulgent holiday meal, or for a weeknight dinner, or a special occasion!
Thank you Bob’s Red Mill for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.
With the holidays here, not even right around the corner any more, but here… I mean have you been to the store lately??? Christmas decorations EVERYWHERE!!
Anyway, I digress. With the holidays here I am filling my home with all kinds of baked goods. And trust me it is amazing. I definitely am going to need another pair of fat pants.
But one thing I noticed is a lot of my readers are gluten free. Now, I realize this is not a gluten-free blog. Nor will it ever be. I love me some gluten. But my sister in law is Celiac, and so I try to make things she can enjoy! Let’s just say I’ll do my best to make a gluten free item here and there.
And truthfully there is no reason not to, with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 baking flour, making things gluten free is ridiculously easy. You just follow your favorite gluten filled recipe, and replace the traditional flour with the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free blend.
Now I know what you are thinking…”uh I have tried just replacing with gluten free versions, it doesn’t work!!” But it does with this flour. It is formulated with finely ground brown rice flour, sweet white rice flour, whole grain sorghum flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour with a touch of xanthan gum to give you those chewy, springy baked goods you really want!
I tried it with baked goods like Chocolate Chip Cookies, not just in stuff where there is a little flour thickener or something. Anyway, no matter how I used it, things turned out great. No one even knew the difference.
Don’t just take my word for it, click for this coupon for $1 off any Bob’s Red Mill product, and try it yourself. I think you will find it is as good as the claims say. It even browns!!! The protein in the sorghum flour helps give baked goods an almost wheat-like texture and aids in browning, for those times you need that golden glow!
You should definitely use this blend for cookies, cakes, brownies, and all those other yummy treats, but you should most definitely use it for the pastry crust and thickener for this pot pie.
Should we get to this pot pie? I think so too. I figured with the holidays here, and treats galore, you guys might like something that is decadent, and a real treat…but a savory one!! High five right?
And so the birth of this (dare I say?) phenomenal gluten free seafood pot pie. Now this is no traditionalpot pie. Not only did I use scallops and shrimp, but I also use a paella base broth as opposed to a chicken or fish stock, to get a unique flavor.
One night I was watching the cooking channel, and someone was making a seafood pot pie. Of course it was like 11 o’clock at night, and there was no way I was going to get my butt out of bed and make it then, but I was super hungry, and it sounded so good. And I have been dreaming about it since. So I finally just made it. With lots and lots of tweaks, cuz, ya know…I’m such a rebel.
Totally drool worthy. I am serious. I get nervous about making such claims because everyone has different taste buds. But my daughter and son loved it. I loved it. The intern that lives with us loved it. My sister-in-law and her hubby both loved it. So I figured if a foreigner, multiple children, and my very blunt sister-in-law are all telling me it is a win, I feel confident saying it is a win!
