Notes

By Robin LaBarbera
I searched everywhere for a low FODMAP rice recipe, and I couldn’t find one (probably because rice without onions or garlic is less than delicious, but if onions irritate your stomach, you gotta do what you gotta do), so I had to create my own version. It was pretty good. I added it to some grilled chicken and aged cheddar on a corn tortilla and topped it with my creamy cilantro dressing for a complete low FODMAP meal. My husband said, “this is really good!” There you have it!
