Homemade Low FODMAP Chicken Gravy
I really miss gravy and it is hard to find instant packets of gravy that don’t contain high FODMAP ingredients. So I have created a low FODMAP recipe for safe and tasty homemade gravy.
It also freezes well, which means you can divide it into portions and use it at a later date.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC (390ºF) bake function. Break open the chicken nibbles, place them on a solid chopping board and bash the bones up using the end of a rolling pin (this helps release more of the flavour). Toss the chicken nibbles, carrots, leek tips, and herbs in a solid roasting dish. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix all the ingredients together well. Cook for 1 hour or until the meat is tender.
- Remove from the oven and place the roasting dish on a stove element over low heat. Use a potato masher to grind and smash the ingredients together. Then add the hot water, turn up the heat to high and boil for 10 minutes.
- Then turn down the heat. Dissolve the cornflour in a small amount of warm water. Then stir through the gravy. Allow the gravy to simmer for 25 minutes or until it reaches the thickness you want. Check the taste and add generous amounts of salt and pepper as needed.
- Then push the gravy through a sieve and into a large bowl. You want to really push it through the sieve so you get as much flavour as possible.
- You can serve the gravy straight away with your planned meal, or you can freeze it and use at a later date.
- To reheat the gravy place it in a saucepan over low heat and allow it to heat through.
Buying Tips
Check that the cornflour (corn starch) is made from maize and not wheat.
Make sure you buy a leek that has long green leaves (this is the low FODMAP part), as you can’t use the white/light green leek bulb (this part is high FODMAP). Once you've finished harvesting the leaves place the leek in a glass of water on a window sill and the leaves will reshoot so you can harvest them again.
