Low-FODMAP Main Courses, Part 2

Here are some main course meals which I plan to try out this week for my recovery days from testing fructans in the low-FODMAP diet. Unfortunately wheat bread did not sit well with my stomach -- but knowing that information will help me feel better in the long run.

I use a kitchen scale to weigh serving sizes according to the Monash University App. Please use your own judgement when choosing ingredients and serving sizes.

Low FODMAP Chicken Satay Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles - ?? stars
I plan to use fresh local vegetables grown by Fermes Lufa in their factory-roof greenhouses. Yay for fresh local greens in the middle of winter!

Maple-Soy Glazed Salmon - 5 stars
This recipe works well on the low-FODMAP diet if I just omit the garlic. I have cooked it before and everybody really loves it, including my toddler. I will serve it with basmati rice, steamed carrots and slices of cucumber.

Low FODMAP Pastry-Less Quiche - ?? stars
The Bulk Barn at Marché Centrale in Montréal is one of several doing a pilot program for "zéro déchets" which means I brought my own containers to stock up on gluten-free flour (I use the 1-à-1 mélange patisserie) and quinoa pasta (see next recipe). Going to try the bacon & chive version of this quiche recipe and sub almond milk for the lactose-free milk.

Green Pesto Pasta - 5 stars
My six-year old niece who won't eat greens couldn't get enough of this pasta dish. I didn't tell her how much spinach was hidden in the sauce! I usually add a big handful of fresh basil leaves to the pesto, and cook the bacon up with some cherry tomatoes as a side dish. The pesto pasta is also nice as a side dish with fish. I am hoping to feel well enough by the end of the week to try wheat pasta as part of testing whether I tolerate fructans.

All FODMAP sites come with the caveat that this program is designed to be undertaken with the guidance of a FODMAP-trained dietician - so here is mine. I am not a dietician or a doctor, and none of the information on this blog is intended to replace qualified medical advice. My goal is to have a place to share and record some of my low-FODMAP cooking successes and collate some resources which are useful in my own low-FODMAP diet adventure.

Good Food main courses to try

My new favourite podcast, The West Wing Weekly , is sponsored by Blue Apron. I recently discovered a Canadian equivalent: Good Food (based in Montreal!). Unfortunately a lot of high-FODMAP (but delicious) ingredients are featured in their food boxes, but they do post recipes online which means I can adapt the list of ingredients to omit the foods that cause me digestive troubles. Here are a few main courses which look delicous and could be modified to be low-FODMAP without changing the recipe too much. We had the shrimp (with green beans in place of snow peas and omitting the garlic and white parts of scallions) last week. I might try it next time with tofu becaise my toddler isn't a fan of shrimp. The other recipes I am looking to try in the next while. Bonus for francophones - the Good Food site is bilingual and all recipes are available en français.

Some low-FODMAP chicken dishes to try

I have some delicious chicken thighs from local Ferme Rose-des-vents (via my panier Lufa) for dinner tomorrow night. What shall I make? Chicken Dijon Wonder if my nearly two-year-old toddler will like the taste of Dijon mustard? If she likes escargots, she could like anything. http://www.deliciousasitlooks.com/2013/10/chicken-dijon-gluten-free-low-fodmap.html Baked Moroccan Chicken Thighs For low-FODMAP would have to omit the garlic and shallots and drastically reduce the amount of canned chickpeas. This would probably be good with some eggplant and/or zucchini added to the mix. https://feedmephoebe.com/baked-moroccan-chicken-thighs-with-carrots-the-big-3-0/#wprm-recipe-container-15839 Succulent Crispy Chicken I hadn't thought of dredging chicken pieces in gluten-free flour before cooking, nor cooking in garlic-infused oil (instead of garlic powder in the coating, I guess). Smart. I recently found garlic-infused oil in our local Metro supermarket so have been enjoying ...

Low-FODMAP fish main courses

My husband makes fish every Friday for dinner so I need to be careful about where I put it in my part of the week. Here are a couple of low-FODMAP goodies. Creamy Dijon-Dill Salmon Mayonnaise plus lemon juice plus other good things makes a really nice marinade for all kinds of fish baked in the oven. Comes out moist and delicious. I might serve this with quinoa. http://www.deliciousasitlooks.com/2014/08/life-update-new-salmon-recipe.html Fish Chowder I don't have a recipe for this one except in my head. I sometimes cook bacon bits for the top of the soup, take out the meat and use the fat to start the soup. Start by frying up chopped swiss chard stems in butter or bacon fat as if it was onion or celery. Fresh thyme is good at this point. Add some diced potatoes and carrots and some chicken broth. Cook 10 minutes then add in pieces of white fish (haddock or cod is good) and the swiss chard leaves, chopped. Cook until fish is opaque, another 5-10 minutes. If sour cream is tol...
