This FODMAP diet is driving me crazy - it's so difficult to come home and think of a quick meal to make, as all of my usual 'go-to' recipes all contain garlic or onion (and the majority of the time they contain both). I keep thinking of all my one pot wonders and they just can't be eaten.
I need garlic - but I just can't have it. I have researched garlic substitutes and they too seem to be on the 'no-go' list. And then I read what I can consume, however, is oil infused with garlic (because the part that I malabsorb is not the actual garlic flavor, it's the garlic itself).
I'm thinking of making something like a Chicken Cacciatore - but obviously I can't flour the chicken and I won't be adding onion, garlic or mushrooms. And if you are following the true FODMAP diet you are allowed red capsicum, but not the green or the yellow ones (don't know about orange ... it wasn't in my book). Oh and make sure that it is a DRY white wine ... as it won't contain as much fuctose as a standard or sweet white wine.
1 tbs garlic infused olive oil
6 small chicken drumsticks
6 chicken wings
1kg baby potatoes, halved
1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, cut in halve
1 red capsicum, diced
95g (1/2 cup) kalamata olives
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked
125ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
Sea salt flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 200°C. Heat the oil in a 3L (12-cup capacity) flameproof, ovenproof baking dish over medium heat. Add the chicken drumsticks and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the chicken thigh cutlets.
Add the potato to the dish and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat. Add the chicken to the potato in the dish and top with tomato, capsicum, zucchini and olives. Sprinkle with rosemary. Pour over the wine. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and potato is tender. Serve immediately.

Wow- I'm glad you thought all that stuff through because this sounds fantastic! Love the flavors!
ReplyDeletethis chicken looks lovely. Good luck with your subs for garlic and onion! i don't think i could do it. thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a FODMAP diet, but I'm not sure I could survive without garlic and onion! I'm going to have to go Google that one...
