Nothing screams 'Christmas!' more than homemade mince pies. Even better if they're gluten free and delightfully gut-friendly.

And the great thing is that you don't even need to roll out the pastry!

You can swap the harissa for tomato puree drizzled with a touch of garlic oil and a light sprinkling of chili flakes, as a technically FODMAP friendly alternative. Or you can push the boat out and opt for some homemade gluten free pesto.
