I love creating ‘riffs’ of my favorite dinners- from casual to gourmet- so that I can enjoy them while following a low-FODMAP lifestyle.
When I post them on the blog, you can be assured that the meal tastes as delicious as the original, while omitting the triggers that can upset your tummy.
Sometimes I use herbs like rosemary and thyme and omit the onion and garlic completely, and other times I use infused oils to enjoy those tastes.
Dr. Rachel’s Notes: I used low-FODMAP infused oil in these ribs to incorporate the flavor of garlic WITHOUT THE HIGH-FODMAP CARBOHYDRATES. Since FODMAPs are not dissolved in an oil base, these are a perfect way to add flavor and richness to a recipe and keep your tummy happy. These should be a pantry staple for you too- see my low-FODMAP Recipe Swap blog to learn other great tips for recipe modifications.
This recipe for low-FODMAP Red Wine Braised Short Ribs is slow-simmered in a red wine broth, that tenderizes and flavors the meat in a lovely rich ambrosia. Don’t worry- the alcohol will be ‘cooked off’, and you can enjoy this with your whole family. Serve with low-FODMAP Creamy Thyme Mashed Potatoes, Polenta, Rice-Quinoa, or Roasted Potatoes.
