GLUTEN-FREE BEEF COBBLER

Steps:

• Put the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until soft.
• Add the carrot, celery and garlic and cook until lightly browned.
• Mix in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring often, until the meat is browned. Add the thyme, tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire sauce and parsley, and season to taste.
• Cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Sift the flour and baking powder and rub in the butter.
• Add the cheese and herbs, then the yogurt, and mix to a soft dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured board and knead lightly. Roll to about 1⁄2in thick and cut out 9 rounds.
• Tip the beef mixture into an ovenproof dish. Casually arrange the dough circles on top of the beef and brush with egg or milk.
• Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the topping is risen and golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
