Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa (rinsed well)
• 2 cups low FODMAP vegetable broth
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 cup baby spinach (fresh)
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil (FODMAP friendly)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (optional)
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

• Medium saucepan with lid
• Cutting board and sharp knife
• Mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Toaster oven or skillet (for toasting pine nuts)

Instructions

1. Prepare the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and low FODMAP vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Simmer gently: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
3. Prepare the vegetables: While quinoa cooks, dice the carrot and zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces. Rinse the baby spinach and roughly chop if the leaves are large.
4. Sauté veggies: Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the carrot and zucchini, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened but not mushy.
5. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. Add the sautéed vegetables, baby spinach, and dried oregano. Toss gently to combine.
6. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. If using, toast pine nuts in a dry skillet until golden and sprinkle them on top for crunch.
7. Garnish and serve: Finish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For an extra protein boost, add grilled chicken or firm tofu (ensure it’s low FODMAP). You can also swap quinoa for gluten free brown rice or millet for variety.

If you prefer a bit of zest, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving. For a creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of lactose-free yogurt or a dollop of mashed avocado.

Vegetable swaps like bell peppers or green beans work well, just keep portions low to stay within FODMAP limits. For a heartier meal, mix in chopped kale or Swiss chard.
