Party season made gut-friendly (& delicious)
The party season is officially here and if you’ve got IBS or a sensitive gut, it can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield of bloating, hidden fodmaps and mystery sauces.
But this year? We’re saying NO to stress and YES to joy. Because gut-friendly food can be every bit as beautiful, vibrant and delicious as anything else on the table.
Here are a few of our favourite low fodmap canapés and crowd-pleasers that look (and taste) the part - no awkward explanations needed. If you’re looking for festive inspiration, we’ve got you covered!
Scallop tartlets with a tangy carrot puree
Elegant, bite-sized, and bursting with fresh flavour.
Make mini tarts using low fodmap pastry (or buying pre-made tart shells to save time), top with seared scallops, carrot puree and a yoghurt dressing. The puree and dressing can be made the day before, leaving you with just the scallops to sear before serving.
