- 1 medium carrot, peeled, chopped
- 1 medium potato, peeled, diced
- 2 cups Massel chicken style liquid stock
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free cornflour
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Gluten-free pie pastry
- 1/2 cup rice flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free cornflour
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 50g Nuttelex dairy-free spread, chopped
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and chicken. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add zucchini, carrot and potato. Cook for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup stock to pan.
- Step 2Place cornflour and 1/4 cup remaining stock in a bowl. Stir to form a paste. Stir in remaining stock. Stir cornflour mixture into chicken mixture. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 minutes or until just thickened. Stir through parsley and tarragon. Spoon mixture into a 5 cup-capacity ovenproof dish.
- Step 3Make pastry: Sift rice flour, cornflour, buckwheat flour and salt into a large bowl. Add spread, 1 tablespoon cold water and sunflower oil. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir to form a dough, adding extra cold water if needed. Knead dough for 3 minutes or until smooth and combined. Shape dough into a disc.
- Step 4Roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface until large enough to cover dish. Place pastry over filling. Pinch edges to seal. Brush with egg. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until pastry is golden. Stand for 5 minutes to cool. Serve.
