FODMAP Notes

Uses garlic-infused oil for flavor. Ensure beef stock is onion and garlic-free (homemade or certified low FODMAP). Parmesan is naturally very low in lactose. Whole grain mustard is low FODMAP. Spinach is safe in generous portions.

Tips

  • 💡 Don't rush the risotto - stir constantly for creaminess
  • 💡 Keep stock at a simmer for best absorption
