Strawberry Jelly Pie (Grain Free) GAPS, DF - Quirky Cooking

What do you do when life gets a little crazy, and you’re feeling the need to slow down, let go, simplify, back off, say no, stress less, chill out and re-balance?

Ignore all the stuff you’re supposed to be doing, and BAKE, of course!! Ha ha, well, that’s what I do! Turn off the phone, put on some music, and bake. Something fun and creative and not just something that I ‘have’ to make for the next meal… Something like PIE!!

Strawberry Jelly Pie - Quirky Cooking

Baking is so therapeutic, and eating the results is pretty therapeutic too. So seeing I have 5kg of sweet, juicy, local strawberries sitting here staring at me, I decided a strawberry lattice topped pie would be perfect. And just to make it more of a challenge, a grain free, dairy free, GAPS and Paleo friendly strawberry jelly pie! Oh yeah.

(You’ve never heard of ‘strawberry jelly pie’? No, neither have I, but it worked so well that now it’s a ‘thing’. Just sayin’.)

I was also going to share with you my thoughts on simplifying, cutting back on all the ‘urgent stuff to do’, and reducing stress, but I’m simplifying so much that I think I’ll just give you the recipe and be done with it. I mean, that’s what you came here for, right? But if you’d like to share your thoughts on getting so caught up in ‘doing’ that everything gets way too overwhelming and the joy of doing what you love is lost, just click here. We had a great chat about it on FB.

Quirky Cooking Simplify

Ok, so here’s the recipe! If you’ve never made a lattice pie top and it seems a bit too tricky, (I promise it really isn’t), you can watch a video showing how to do it here. Just work carefully and make sure the pastry is chilled, and if a strip breaks just press it back together and keep going. But if you’re in a rush, by all means just roll out the pastry for the top, slap it over the filling, crimp the edges, cut a few slits for air, brush with egg wash, and bake. Easy peasy.

PS If you were hoping to eat a slice of this hot out of the oven, I’m sorry… it is a ‘jelly’ pie, so it needs to set and be served cold! It will kind of ooze everywhere if you try to cut it hot, just so you know.

Enjoy!! <3

Pastry
  1. 300g blanched almond meal
  2. 2 eggs
  3. 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  4. 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  5. 2 Tbspns (30g) honey (or preferred sweetener, to taste)
  6. 30g coconut oil (or butter), plus extra for greasing dish
Filling
  1. 5 cups strawberries, washed, hulled and halved
  2. 3 Tbspns honey (or preferred sweetener, to taste)
  3. juice of half a lemon
  4. 2 Tbspns gelatine powder
  5. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Assembling
  1. 1 egg whisked with 1 Tbspn water for egg wash (optional, for golden colour)
  2. extra ground cinnamon for sprinkling on top
Pastry
  1. Preheat oven to 180C.
  2. Grease a 20cm pie dish with extra coconut oil or butter and set aside.
  3. Place all pastry ingredients into Thermomix bowl and mix 20 sec/speed 4.
  4. Remove dough from bowl with spatula (it will be quite sticky) and divide in two.
  5. Wrap half the dough in baking paper and place in fridge to chill.
  6. Roll out other half of dough to 5mm thick on a silicon mat, with a piece of baking paper on top of dough to stop it sticking to rolling pin. (Alternatively, press dough into pie dish instead of rolling out.)
  7. Press pastry into greased pie dish, trim edges, prick all over with fork, and cook 15 mins at 180C. Set aside to cool.
Filling
  1. Place 2 cups of the strawberries into Thermomix bowl with honey, lemon juice, gelatine and cinnamon. Cook 7 mins/100C/rev/speed 1.
  2. Remove to a large mixing bowl and stir in remaining strawberries. Set aside.
Assembling
  1. Roll out chilled pastry to 5mm thick, between silicon mat and baking paper. Cut into 1 inch strips with a bread knife. (Cut very gently so you don't damage silicon mat.)
  2. Spoon filling into cooled pie crust, and lay pastry strips carefully over the top of the filling, weaving together as you go to form lattice pie top. (If you need to see how this is done, watch the video mentioned in my comments above.)
  3. Brush pastry with egg wash, sprinkle with a little cinnamon, and place into oven.
  4. Bake 15-18 mins until golden.
  5. Cool for a little while, then place in freezer to chill for an hour, to set the 'jelly' (or in fridge for 2-3 hours).
  6. Serve cold, with whipped coconut cream or coconut ice cream!
Variations
  1. Apple & Strawberry Pie - 3 apples, peeled, deseeded and sliced in 5mm slices; place in Thermomix bowl with honey, lemon juice, gelatine and 1 tsp cinnamon, and cook as above; remove to bowl and stir in 2 cups halved strawberries. Assemble and bake as above.
  2. Apple Pie - 6 apples, peeled, deseeded and sliced in 5 mm slices; place all in Thermomix bowl with honey, lemon juice, gelatine and 1 tsp cinnamon, and cook as above; assemble and bake as above.
  3. Egg Free Variation - replace eggs in pastry with 2 Tbspns milled chia seeds mixed with 6 Tbspns water. Brush pastry with milk of choice (e.g. almond milk) instead of egg wash.
  4. Vegan Variation - replace eggs as above, and use 2 tsp agar powder instead of gelatine in filling.
  5. To whip coconut cream - place a tin of thick coconut cream in the fridge and leave overnight. Next day, remove the very thick cream from the top and place in a chilled bowl. Whisk with a hand whisk until smooth. (If you blend in the Thermomix it will heat up too much and won't stay firm.) Can add a little honey or maple syrup and vanilla if you like.

    Hi Jo,
    Thank you so much for your generous and sharing heart, so helpful for us food challenged people and families who also love to cook.
    Do you know of Australian grass fed gelatine that you are happy to use please? I am aware of Great Lakes, but was looking for an Australian one if possible, thanks so much.
    God bless you and your family,
    Heather, South Australia

      All Australian Gelatine is made by one company, its made from a mixture of grass fed and non grass fed cows. If you want certified Organic you have to get it from overseas.

    Hi Jo if I use agar instead of gelatine will I still be able to put the lattice on top and put in the oven?

    This looks beautiful Jo, can the gelatin be replaced with Agar Agar? If so, what would the quantity and method be? Sorry I just would really love to make this but don’t tolerate Gelatin well.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe Jo,
    I made the Apple variation, knowing that I needed to serve a Hot pie rather than a Jelly pie I omitted the gelatin. It was fabulous thank you. We really enjoyed it, your newsletter arrived at just the right time when I was planning a dinner party!

    The recipe looks great but I don’t have a Thermomix, just an electric stove that I can set for the usual low, med-low, medium, etc. How would you suggest cooking the strawberry ripping? Thanks!

{Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too ea {Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too early to start thinking of treats for the weekend, is it? 😄 Citrus is in abundance right now, so if you’re like me and have ruby red grapefruits piled up on your bench top, you should definitely try this pie. It’s arguably my favourite recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook and I will shout its praises every citrus season til my dying day!!

Grapefruit pie is a local favourite in South Texas (USA) and in ruby red grapefruit season you’ll find it served at
little roadside barbecue joints where they guard the recipe closely! I only know about it because my parents are Texan and lived in South Texas for years… but this recipe is way too good to hide away. The pie's crunchy crust holds big, juicy sections of ruby red grapefruit set in a sweet citrus jelly, and it's not bitter, because the grapefruit pith is removed. 

Some versions have a layer of cream cheese spread over the pastry under the grapefruit and jelly, to protect the crust from getting soggy, and this also acts as a creamy foil to the tangy fruit and crunchy crust. I love it best this way - I use cream cheese or labne, or I make cashew cream cheese for a dairy-free version. The traditional accompaniment is a big dollop of fresh whipped cream (which is always sweetened in Texas, but I prefer it unsweetened), or use coconut cream if you’re avoiding dairy. And don't panic filleting the grapefruit - once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. And if your pieces turn out a little mangled and messy, don't worry, it will taste just as amazing!

You can find the recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook* or app AND I’ll be making this recipe and sharing it on my next podcast video THIS FRIDAY  on my citrus episode, so keep an eye out for that! (Subscribe to my newsletter to get all the latest videos as they are released - link in bio.)

{Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we {Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we made these little cheesy-eggy grain-free pastries, so here you go!

- Make a batch of Grain-Free Dough (recipe in Life-Changing Food, or buy the pastry premade from Primal Alternative, or you can use the Almond Meal Pastry on my blog)
- Mix together 300-400g quark (or mashed feta) and 4-5 eggs (whisked)
- Roughly chop some flat-leaf parsley, chives and mint (and finely chopped onion if you like), add zest of 1 lemon and mix through egg mixture, then season with salt and pepper
- flatten a circle of dough in your hands (about 10cm diameter and about 5mm thick) and shape into fatayer (like a little boat), then set onto lined baking trays
- fill fatayer with egg mixture
- bake in 200C oven for 15-20 mins or until pastry is browned and mixture has set firm

I keep these in the fridge/freezer and warm them up for a quick breakfast or lunch!

Thank a farmer for your next meal! ❤️ (Also, S Thank a farmer for your next meal! ❤️ (Also, Simi can do his own washing today 😂😂)

(Simi works on an organic farm and often brings home goodies like these beautiful daikon radish, which we fermented with chilli and garlic! So good - they stay quite crisp and make a great condiment to serve with dinner.)

Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my stories (let me know if you missed them and want me to re-share), and one of the questions I had afterwards was this one ⬆️ - “Can you share ‘What we ate this week’ day in the life style? And what is made fresh, prepared ahead, and from the freezer”. 

Why not, I said! So I’ve been taking photos of my food even more than usual 😂 like a photographic food diary, and it’s sometimes boring and sometimes delicious and sometimes weird, but you’re welcome to follow along if you like!! 😁

Today’s “day on a plate” in pictures: 

Breakfast: herb & cheese fatayer (grain-free pastry from Life-Changing Food filled with a mixture of quark, eggs, herbs and lemon zest - will share recipe in another post) - made yesterday and stored in fridge/freezer, heated in grill and eaten on the run with coffee 😁

Lunch: savoury mince from Simple, Healing Food (made yesterday, with a lot of cabbage added because we needed to use it 😄), fermented daikon radish (grown on the organic farm where Simi works), and Camembert cheese (made at a local dairy)

Snacks: Peanut butter chocolate fudge 😁 recipe on the blog ❤️ (and tea)

Dinner: Broccoli & cauliflower bake (from Simple, Healing Food except with cheese on top rather than macadamia “cheese” - prepared yesterday, stored in fridge then baked in oven tonight), steak & veggies - kids had fish instead of steak … I made lots as the leftovers are for work lunches tomorrow 😊

Before bed: probably another cuppa tbh but last night was beet kvass - I don’t think I’ll do that again right before bed though, it was a bit too strong before bed 😄

I don’t know if any of this will be at all helpful, but I guess it will show that I’m not always perfect and I don’t always stick to my meal plan and my food isn’t always “instagrammable” 😄 and that’s ok! 🤗 

PS My meal plan for the week is at the end - links are in my newsletter sent out on Monday. ❤️

I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I decided it was much more important to drive down the mountain and spend the day eating good food and drinking amazing local coffee with our dear friends visiting from Melbourne. 😍❤️ Have you heard of the 5 years rule? In 5 years time, no one is going to remember the housework didn’t get done today, the newsletter didn’t get written, the washing didn’t get put away, or the dinner was very basic. But we WILL remember this beautiful day spent with family and friends. ❤️

From this… to this! 😍

On this live, 1 hour video I made:

- Gypsy Stew (with chicory leaves, bok choy, tomatoes, Spanish onions, Russian garlic, a red chilli, lemon juice, chicken stock & chicken breast, ghee, salt & pepper - forgot the flat-leaf parsley 🙄)

- Beef & Cabbage Soup (with brown onion, Russian garlic, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, fresh parsley & oregano, thyme, sage, tomato paste, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, chicken stock and just 300g beef mince for a meal that feeds 6-8 adults!)

- Pumpkin, Cauliflower & Leek Mash (made with the above plus coconut cream, ghee, salt & pepper), to serve dolloped into the Beef & Cabbage Soup

- Herb-Roasted Chicken (with the chicken pieces from making the stock)

I fed 8 people last night (the kids & their friends plus Simi twice 🤣) and they licked their bowls clean! 😁 (Practically!) And there were plenty of leftovers for work lunches and dinners today. 🎉🎉
