How about a Gluten Free lunch all the way from Scotland. That's what I have here.
This hearty dish is a Chicken & Potato Casserole. It is made by Tesco and is part of their Free From line. The price was IMPRESSIVE - £2.40 which works out to around $4.00 or so Canadian. Still, affordable by Gluten Free standards.
This product earned my favor right from the start. Just a few minutes in the microwave with the top sides of the package peeled open and we have a hearty meal!
Although it's called Chicken & Potato Casserole, it was more of a stew in my opinion. That could very well be due to our different way of wording things on this side of the pond. It was fantastic! Not only did this come out of the microwave fiercely hot, but it did not have that signature microwaved texture. Very rarely does anything come out of the microwave tasting like it was made fresh and this did.
This dish reminded me of the stew that my grandmother used to make when I was a child. The chicken was moist and the potato had a nice bite to it. The only thing missing was dough balls. To remedy that, I grabbed a couple of Queijos and tossed in. Perfect!
The portion would probably be one bag to one person, unless your feeding this to kids. Then you could probably split it between two people.
I would definitely purchase this in the future...if I could. Unfortunately the lovely folks at Tesco do not ship to Canada and hubby wont be making a return trip to Scotland any time soon.
This makes me want to fight for more Gluten Free variety in this country. We have enough cookies and snacks. I want to see healthy, ready to eat and easy to prepare Gluten Free meals.
That is a post for another day though.
