Gluten-free, Corn-free, Soy-free Pot Pie

Okay, I know I am a little late to the party. I know. I feel bad, I do. But better late than never.

Yesterday, Shauna over at Gluten-free Girl hosted a Pie Party. Something like a thousand people all made pies before July 5th. I meant to make a pie, but it just got to blasting hot to run the oven. So I made one today.

A savory pie.

A pot pie.

A homemade venison sausage, Lima bean, and Parmesan bechemel pot pie.




Gluten-free, Soy-free, Corn-free Pot Pie

1 lb Sausage of your choosing
1 lb baby Lima beans, cooked

2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 C. Spectrum Organic Shortening

I'll have to try that! But I have a question- xanthan gum? Isn't that made from corn? I am also on a gluten-free, corn-free and soy-free diet. I use guar gum instead. Would that work?

Also I'm excited to see that I can use Spectrum shortening! I never realized that it was soy-free!!! Thanks!!!

Xanthan gum - it truly depends on what your body can handle. My mom, who has a huge corn allergy, has never had any problems with the Bobs Red Mill brand Xanthan gum. In my opinion, it's processed down enough that for us it is okay. I have never tried guar gum. I will soon to see if it works. If you try it let me know how it goes! The Spectrum is incredible, and soooo handy. I use it in biscuits, crust, even for a dairy free frosting option.
