Keep It FODMAP Friendly

Trust me! You’ll want to make this mouthwatering low FODMAP quinoa stuffing all year long. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly.

One of our first ingredients is red onion. Don’t panic! FODMAPs are water-soluble, which means the flavour of high FODMAP foods like onion and garlic can be infused into fats like oil or butter without any FODMAPs leaching out. You can check out more information on the chemistry of FODMAPs here and you can find the official sign off on this process from Monash University here.

We’ll be pulling the onion pieces out before adding any other ingredients, so you’ll get all the flavour without any icky FODMAPs.

Now that you’ve had a second to recover, let’s talk about carrots and celery. According to Monash University, carrots don’t’ have any detectable FODMAPs, so they won’t add to your FODMAP load.

Celery, on the other hand, is only safe in servings of 1/4 stalk (5 cm). Servings of 1/3 (7 cm) or more are high in the polyol mannitol and should be avoided during elimination. That’s not a ton of celery per serving, but don’t worry. This recipe only uses one stalk total which works out to 1/2 a serving per person.

We’ll also be using quinoa. According to Monash University, quinoa is safe in servings of 1 cup (cooked). Monash doesn’t recommend a maximum serving size, but I try to stick to 1 cup or less per sitting, just to be safe.

Our final ingredient is chicken broth. Finding a low FODMAP chicken broth can sometimes feel like finding the holy grail. So, I always recommend checking your local store’s website to scope out your options at home before you head to the store.

For my Canadian peeps, Campbell’s full salt and low salt chicken broth are both low FODMAP. If you can’t find anything at your local store, you can grab this low FODMAP chicken soup base from Fody Food Co.

Because this low FODMAP stuffing is made with chicken broth, I recommend pairing it with poultry dishes. It’s fantastic with my low FODMAP roasted chicken. This recipe is particularly great for the holidays because it can easily be scaled up if your family is turkey-sized.

If you want to add something special to your everyday chicken, this recipe is also delicious with my seasoned chicken breasts or these awesome lemon and rosemary chicken breasts.
