Hands up if you love chili! We do. It is a wonderful family-friendly meal and you can mix up the toppings to suit your family’s needs. This recipe will show you how to make a low FODMAP version that you can enjoy during the first phase of the low FODMAP diet.
FODMAP notes: Avocado has a generous low FODMAP serving, all you need to do is divide the recipe into the recommended number of servings).
Alternative meats: If you don’t want to use turkey in this recipe then you could swap in ground chicken, ground pork or ground beef instead. You can also swap the corn chips for a serving of cooked rice.
Servings:
Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.
Buy a bunch of spring onions with long green tips. You can use the green tips of the spring onions (which are low FODMAP) and not the white stem when cooking.
Choose plain potato chips and avoid chips that are flavoured with high FODMAP ingredients like onion powder, garlic powder, milk powder, whey powder (chicken flavoured or sour cream & chives often contain sneaky FODMAPs). Plain potato chips, ready salted or salt and vinegar often make good low FODMAP options.
Check the vegan cheese does not include onion, garlic, inulin or coconut flour in the ingredients. Cheddar, Colby, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses made from dairy are all low FODMAP.
Small amounts of avocado are low FODMAP. Just make sure you limit your serving to a 4 tablespoon serve (60g/2.1oz).
Choose plain canned tomatoes with no added herbs or spices. Check there is no added onion or garlic.
Choose a stock that does not include onion or garlic. Massel have a range of low FODMAP, gluten free and vegan stock powders that are certified as low FODMAP. This product can be brought online around the world and is available from some supermarkets. Also check your Monash University FODMAP Diet App or FODMAP Friendly App for additional options. Or use our homemade chicken stock or vegetable stock.
Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
