Jump to Recipe• 2 cups gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 2 pounds boneless lamb leg, trimmed and cut into cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
• 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour and salt for the crust. Add in the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Slowly add in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the lamb cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add in the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Add the lamb back into the skillet, along with the frozen peas and thyme. Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the mixture and stir to combine.
7. Slowly pour in the broth, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the size of your pie dish. Place the dough over the filling, crimping the edges as desired.
9. Use a sharp knife to make several slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
11. Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Easter lamb pie with your loved ones!
