I was never the biggest meat lover but my mom’s meatballs are the best thing I’ve tried in my life! And maybe the reason why I never became a full-time vegan or vegetarian. You would feel the same way if you try them! 🙂 And luckily with a few replacements, I was able to recreate her recipe in a low fodmap and gluten-free version. Friends, you’ve gotta try these low fodmap meatballs because they are the best meatballs out there, I can guarantee you that! 😉

*fodmap tip:

*If you are buying a gluten-free bread that is not certified to be low FODMAP, make sure to check the label, as there can be hidden FODMAPs.

*You can replace the chives with spring onions (only the green parts)

*If you are using store-bought garlic-infused olive oil, make sure there are no floating bits of garlic in it. You can also make Garlic Infused olive oil at home by frying garlic cloves in the olive oil until they are golden and fragrant. Then remove them from the oil and continue cooking your meal.

*As a general rule always read the labels of the ingredients that you use as there can be sneaky FODMAP’s in any product. To educate yourself of which foods are high in FODMAP’s I’d strongly recommend downloading Monash Unversity FODMAP Diet App
