Before ‘going Low FODMAP’, I used to make a beautiful Italian stew packed with garlic, onions, celery, beans and lots of other High FODMAP Ingredients. No wonder I suffered so badly! Anyway, I do miss that particular stew so I decided to make a Low FODMAP version which is equally as tasty but without the nasty symptoms.
We can thank the lovely #jamieoliver for this one as he was the originator of this recipe from the beautiful book ‘Cook with Jamie’. I wonder if I could convince him to collaborate on a Low FODMAP recipe?! Ok, back to reality Samantha!
Oh…you want to know what the surprise is! Actually I have no idea! I called it that once and it stuck. Family heritage at its finest.
