Low-FODMAP Lemon Rice; Gluten-free, Vegan

Although this recipe has not been tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients.

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
• Salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper
• Juice of 2 lemons, about ¼ 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!
