Gluten Free Cornish -almost- pasty

So I want to try making something using gluten free pastry, since I like pasties I thought I'd give it a go, while we didn't end up with pasties it was still a yummy lunch.

Dish: Gluten free pastry with filling 'thing'

Special need categories: gluten free, lowish fructose

Special needs translated: no gluten, minimal onion (only in stock)

Pastry:

• Orgrans Gluten Free pastry mix (mixed up as short crust pastry)

Filling:

• Celery
  
• Potato
• Butternut pumpkin
• Sweet potato
• Corn cut off the cob
• Zucchini
  
• Carrot
• Turnip
• Veal steaks
• Beef stock (dry/powdered) [contain onion]
• Garlic
  
• Oregano
• Rosemary
• Salt & pepper
• Butter

Method

In theory all the fillings get chopped up, mixed together, placed on the pastry with a dob of butter and then wrapped up. However it didn't take us long to realised that pasties weren't going to work with the pastry we had (let me know if you have any tricks for good GF pastry, this was my first time working with pastry of any sort).

So we changed plans to make a slice with a top and bottom layer of pastry. Apparently the filling for Cornish pasties isn't usually cooked before it goes in the pastry but because we now had a bigger dish we thought it would be a good idea to pre-cook it (plus we were getting hungry!). The pre-cooking was done in the microwave in a pyrex dish, it wasn't fully cooked but the meat was starting to brown and the hard vegies just starting to soften.
A baking dish was sprayed with oil, a bottom layer of pastry added, the filling and then a top layer. It was cooked for about 45 min. The end result was a little messy to serve and eat but really really yummy.
We served it with a really tasty chutney I found at the supermarket called 'Outback Tomato Chutney' made by Outback Spirit, they seemed to have a few gluten free products and are an Australian owned family company that is partnering with Indigenous food suppliers. I'll definitely be on the look out for what else they've got.
Oh and thanks to mum and Jo for joining me in this little experiment :)
