Low-FODMAP Lemon Rice; Gluten-free, Vegan
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients *using FODMAP data at time of posting
Serves: 4-6
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 minutes (plus time to prepare rice as directed)
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients
- 4 cups of your favorite rice, prepared (you will need about 1-2 cups of raw rice to make this amount)
- I used Jasmine Rice
- 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil (for vegan version)
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil
- Infused oils do not contain FODMAPs. See my low-FODMAP Top 11 Tips for reasons why!
- Salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper
- Juice of 2 lemons, about 1/4 cup
- Zest of one lemon
Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter/ oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet; when the butter foam subsides or the oil is hot, spoon in the cooked rice, tossing and stirring
- Season with salt to taste, lots of pepper, and most of the lemon juice
- Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until hot
- Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter or oil, the garlic-infused oil and lemon zest and cook for 1 minutes
- Remove the rice from the pan to a platter, add the remaining lemon juice and serve
- This is delicious with my low-FODMAP Greek Gyros!

Yum!
New to the Low FODMAP diet and I’m struggling to find recipes that have flavour so thankyou! Very yum. I even didn’t have any of the garlic infused oil and was suggested sesame oil (still a Low FODMAP so yay!) and it was delicious. Having some leftovers tonight with some fish.
Thank you Deana!

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for the questIon! The recipe includes GARLIC-INFUSED OIL, not actual garlic. You can enjoy those on low-FODMAP. I have added a helpful link in the recipe above!

This one’s a keeper
The lemon really shines through in this flavorful dish. It’s showcased front and center in the flavor profile, so if you love lemon like I do, you’ll love this rice. Tonight I paired it with grilled chicken marinated with a homemade low FODMAP marinade and green beans but I can think of many more meals to serve with it. I bet it would be great with fish and seafood. I can’t wait to serve it to company.
