💡 IBS is very nuanced, and if you have it, it doesn't mean you're sensitive to all high-FODMAP foods. This recipe is made specifically for people who are sensitive to fructans (garlic and onions).
Garlic Oil for IBS Ingredients
- 2 C extra virgin olive oil or your preferred cooking oil
- 9-12 cloves of garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
- 2-3 shallots (optional), peeled and cut in half
💡 Before beginning to make this recipe, make sure you only make enough to use within a week. Garlic oil should be stored in the fridge for no more than one week to avoid the risk of botulism!
Garlic Oil for IBS Directions
Step 1
Pour the olive oil into a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Once slightly hot, add the garlic cloves and optional shallots. Once tiny bubbles form around the garlic cloves, remove the oil mixture from the heat and let sit for two hours.
Step 2
Pour the infused oil into a bottle or jar. Add a few cloves from the infusion process to the bottle. Use this infused oil to cook meat or tofu for stir-fry, top pasta dishes, or even toast bread with it to make IBS-friendly garlic bread. Bottoms up!
