- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp Aleppo pepper
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp cumin

OTHER

Preparation: To a small pan over medium-low heat, add the butter, olive oil, garlic, Aleppo pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, coriander, and cumin. Combine together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until you have a deep orange/red color. Take off the heat and set aside.
Combine the yogurt with olive oil, lemon zest, dill, black pepper, and salt until creamy and thick in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a pot with water over medium heat until it starts to simmer. You don't want it to be boiling and big bubbles, just small bubbles along the edges. Add the vinegar to the water.
Crack one egg into a small bowl. Bring the bowl as close to the water as possible and slowly drop the egg into the water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites have set, 2 minutes for the extra runny yolk. Take out of the water with a large slotted spoon gently. Repeat with the rest of the eggs.
To assemble, add some yogurt to the bottom of a plate or bowl and spread. Add the poached eggs on top, I like to do two per plate. Drizzle the chili oil all along the top and finish off with mint and chives on top. Sprinkle a full dose of FODZYME over the dish and enjoy!

"This is a great salad for when you don't want to cook. You can prep each component in advance and put it together quickly. The sweetness of the red peppers complements the heartiness of the black lentils and the lemon juice and mint add zest and flavor. Lentils are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. Avocados also contribute a good amount of soluble fiber and healthy fat, and are rich in micronutrients." - Antonella

From Nikki Glick, RD at Gut Well
4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups white or brown rice
- 12 oz firm tofu, sliced into ¼ inch cubes
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (GF if needed)
- 1 tbsp Shao Hsing rice wine
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp salt

In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the soy sauce, rice wine, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt and sugar in another small bowl and set within reach of stove.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan.

RECIPE: Pasta with Red Lentils and Broccoli (Veg)
From Patsy Catsos, MS, RDN at IBSFree
8 (1 ⅓ cups each; total yield: 11 cups)
- ½ pound rotini
- ½ cup split red lentils, rinsed
- 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
- ½ cup sweet onion, chopped
- 1 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 2.25 ounce can sliced black olives, drained
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Prepare: In an 8-quart pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil over high heat. Add the rotini, lentils, and broccoli. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta mixture in a colander; rinse briefly with cold water.
In the same pot, over medium low-heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, onions, and bell pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Return the pasta mixture to the pot. Stir in salt, olives, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and tomatoes.
Just before serving, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the vinegar. Divide the pasta among serving bowls and top each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Mix in a dose of FODZYME and enjoy.
Tips and Variations: Substitute other vegetables for the broccoli, if preferred, or add extra vegetables. Try it with carrots, zucchini, or green beans. Skip the lentils and stir in a can of drained, rinsed chick peas along with the tomatoes.
Make it fancy! Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese instead of canned, grated cheese. Garnish with fresh herbs when available.
Try white balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar. Slice your own pitted calamari olives from the grocery store olive bar instead of using canned.

RECIPE: Roasted Spaghetti Squash + Pesto Dinner (V) (GF)
From Desiree Nielsen, BSc, RD at @desireenielsenrd
4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 small spaghetti squash, or one large, about 3 lbs
- 2 14 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 red peppers, sliced into ½ inch (1 cm) slices
- 1 cup vegan pesto, storebought or homemade (see note)!
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Prepare: Preheat oven to 400˚F and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. If you have one large squash, you can cut each half in half again so you have 4 pieces. Rub cut side of squash with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and place cut side down on parchment.
Add the peppers and chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
Then bake until the squash is tender, about 40-60 minutes depending on the size of the squash. You’ll know it’s done when the outside of the squash yields slightly to gentle pressure. If you've got smaller squash and prefer al dente strands, check after 30 minutes!
Divide the chickpeas and peppers amongst the squash and add a 2-3 tbsp pesto to each bowl. Sprinkle a full dose of FODZYME evenly over each portion and mix. Enjoy!
Note: If you want to make your own pesto, branch out from basil with Desiree's cilantro pesto or broccoli pesto recipes!

"Hummus is one of those vegan staples that we think we'll have to do without on a low FODMAP diet. Although this classic hummus recipe is already designed to be low FODMAP, trialing it with a dose of FODZYME can give you the confidence to get chickpeas back on the menu." - The Irritable Vegan
RECIPE: Classic Hummus (V) (GF)
From The Irritable Vegan at @TheIrritableVegan
2 servings
Ingredients
CLASSIC
- 3oz (~84g) canned chickpeas
- 1 tbsp garlic oil
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 tbsp water (optional)
- 1 tsp of garlic oil, to garnish (optional)
GRILLED RED PEPPER
- All the ingredients for the classic hummus except the optional water
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ⅛ tsp dried chili flakes
- Pinch of chili flakes, to garnish (optional)
PEANUT AND LIME
- All the ingredients for the classic hummus except the optional water
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp lime pickle
- ¼ tsp crushed coriander seed
- 1 tsp maple syrup, or to taste (optional)
- 1 tsp crushed peanuts, to garnish (optional)
Prepare:
Classic Hummus Method: Discard the liquid from the can and thoroughly rinse the chickpeas under cold running water. Set aside and allow to drain well.
Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth, (approx 90 seconds). Only add the optional water if your food processor needs a little help to get going and achieve a smooth, creamy finish.
Spoon the hummus into a shallow serving dish. Sprinkle with a full dose of FODZYME and mix. Garnish with the optional garlic oil if you prefer a more pungent garlic flavor.
Grilled Red Pepper Hummus Method: Halve and deseed the pepper. Place it skin side up under a hot grill/broiler until the skin blackens, approx 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the pepper from the grill and place it into a glass jar. Close the lid of the jar and leave the pepper to steam for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the pepper should be cool enough to handle. Peel and discard the skin from the flesh of the pepper. It should peel away easily in one whole piece.
Place the pepper into a food processor along with a portion of classic hummus and the remaining ingredients. Blitz until smooth. Garnish with the optional chili flakes if you like it spicy. Sprinkle with a full dose of FODZYME and mix.
Peanut and Lime Hummus Method: Place all the ingredients for the classic hummus into a food processor. Add the peanut butter and lime pickle and blitz until smooth. Due to the extra liquid, it’s unlikely you’ll need the optional water.
Stir crushed coriander seeds through the hummus after it’s been blended or, for a subtler taste and smoother hummus, you can add it with the rest of the ingredients before blending if preferred. Taste and adjust the sweetness. Depending on the pungency of your lime pickle you may need to add the optional maple syrup for balance.
Sprinkle with a full dose of FODZYME and mix. Garnish with the optional crushed peanuts if you like it crunchy.
Note: Learn tips to get the perfect hummus texture and watch the recipe video at the The Irritable Vegan.
