Little known fact that one of us in the house is intolerant to gluten. It's not been diagnosed as full on Coelliac disease but a gluten free diet certainly helps.
So every so often I go all out to try and cook gluten free meals for a week.
If you've tried Gluten free meals, you will understand how a) difficult and b) monotonous this is. Gluten free food is typically dry and the processed food often tastes metalllic. Don't get me wrong there are wonderful gluten free foods out there such as Warburtons new Gluten Free Bread Range and the Tesco Free From Range is very good. But it really is trial and error in finding the good stuff.
So this week, we will be eating:
Monday:
Slow Cooked Gluten Free Hot Pot
Tuesday:
Chicken and Mushroom Pie with Mash Topping
Wednesday:
Roast Dinner
(No great skill required on this one - just use gluten free gravy mix)
Thursday:
Gluten Free Chillli Con Carne with Rice
Friday:
Tesco Free From Fish Fingers, chips and home made mushy peas (why? cos the tinned ones can have gluten in)
Saturday:
It'll all go Pete Tong with a Takeaway!!

Gluten Free Slow Cooker Hotpot
This really is a no brainer of a meal. As long as you remember not to use a stock cube with gluten in that is.
So haul out your slow cooker and throw all this in to serve about 6 people. My slow cooker is a large 6-8 person one so if yours is smaller, you will need less.
Ingredients:
3lb potaotes, peeled and sliced
4 large carrots
2 large onions
350g cubed topside (you can use casserole beef, rump steak, even mince)
2 Kallo Vegetable Bouillon stock cubes (mixed up and left to go cold)
2 Knorr Rich Beef Stock Pots (again, mixed and left to go cold)
Method:
1. Layer potatoes, then carrots, then onion, then meat and keep going until your slow cooker is full
2. Pour over the cold stock until all the ingredients are covered
3. Cook for at least 6 hours
4. Serve with Red Cabbage and/or Beetroot.
As this is Gluten free, I make this without a crust. We tend to have it with gluten free toast as an alternative just to fill us up a bit more.
