Often used as a side but can also be eaten by itself, particularly for those just starting out on the diet who can't eat many other things. Ingredients:
1 kg potatoes (whichever you can tolerate) |
cooking oil (i use either canola or vegetable but up to you) |
oregano |
marjoram |
rosemary |
thyme |
basil |
stock cubes/powder - enough for your own taste - i use 3 (whatever you can tolerate. i use massel's 7s as the amount of sugar isn't enough to cause me symptoms and there's not onion or garlic. if you can't tolerate any stock cubes then you can make your own home made stock instead) |
gluten free plain flour - roughly 4 tablespoons |
water - roughly 500 ml |
50g butter |
Directions:
1. Peel and cut up potatoes into desired sizes (the smaller, the more crunchy bits)
2. Line a baking tin with foil
3. spray or lightly coat foil with oil
4. spread potatoes on try
5. spray or lightly coat potatoes in oil
6. sprinkly on herbs to taste. use all of these herbs or any combination of them. these herbs are usually tollerated by people on the low FODMAP diet but please check your individual tollerance.
7. roast potatoes in an oven set to 200-250 degrees C (depending on oven efficiency and whether fan forced. the temp isn't too important though, they'll cook either way)
8. while they cook, make gravy:
9. melt butter in a saucepan
10. stir in flour (more flour for a thicker gravy so experiment to get your desired consistency)
11. if you would like browner gravy, stir this mixture till the flour browns but don't let it burn
12. pour in water (or stock if not using stock cubes) - works best if you boil it first but its not necessary
13. stir (use a whisk if you have one to help prevent lumps - corn flour is great for lumpless gravy but I can't eat it) until the gravy thickens
14. add in stock cubes to taste
15. serve and enjoy
16. NB. for those who are more health conscious, this gravy is very salty so you may want to use less stock or home made stock. meat juice also makes it really tasty if you're having it with roast meat.
17. you can omit the butter in the gravy if you want too and just add the water and flour at the same time. using butter is just the traditional way but I hardly ever do that now days.
