Notes
- Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using available FODMAP data at time of posting)
- Cook time: about 7-8.5 hours on low, or overnight
- Equipment: 6 qt slow-cooker/crock pot
- For Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons is one low-FODMAP serving, however if you are concerned about this ingredient then select a brand without onion or garlic
- Infused oils contain all the flavor but NOT the FODMAPs, since these are not soluble in oil. See our low-FODMAP Top 11 Tips and Tricks for more how-to’s on the low-FODMAP diet!
