Gluten-Free Scones (makes 12)

Gluten-Free Scones by The Fat Foodie

I’ve struggled for a while now to develop a decent recipe for making homemade gluten-free scones because I find that the pre-made ones you can buy from the supermarket are often really dry and can be quite grainy. It’s taken some time, but I’m now really happy with this recipe and I’m glad to be able to share it with you.

Citrus Green Beans and Mustard Mash (serves 4)

Mustard Mash by The Fat Foodie

The other day I was going through my previously posted recipes and it came to my attention that the website was sorely lacking ideas for side dishes, so I thought I’d write a post covering two of my favourite standby sides, citrus green beans and mustard mash. For all that I prefer to create recipes for whole dishes, sides are a really important part of a meal, but it can often be difficult to find ones which are suitable on the low FODMAP diet. However, these citrus green beans and mustard mash are really good options to have in your repertoire.

Maple and Raspberry Chia Jam (makes 8-10 servings)

Maple and Raspberry Chia Jam by The Fat Foodie

Chia jam has been all the rage for a while now, but on the whole I’ve failed to see the attraction.

A low FODMAP jam is a jam which is made with a suitably low FODMAP fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, and is made with sucrose or glucose syrup. High FODMAP jams have got added fructose, high fructose corn syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, honey, agave syrup, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, erythritol and isomalt.

Sushi (serves 2)

Sushi by The Fat Foodie

Sushi is a great low FODMAP option for a meal because rice is naturally gluten-free and tends to be easy on the tummy at the best of times anyway. However, the only downside to buying ready-made sushi is that it tends to be really expensive. Actually, it’s ridiculously expensive when you consider how cheap the actual ingredients are that make up sushi: rice; seaweed wraps; cucumber; radishes; pickled ginger etc. Yes, they might be expensive to buy from some of the pricier supermarkets, but if you go to an Asian supermarket to buy your ingredients you’ll save a packet. I think the only ‘expensive’ component of sushi is if you make it with fish or seafood, but even they are available to buy as budget options nowadays.
