Hi Joy,

Thank you for these. The scrumptious creativity. The delicious adventure. The delectable yet simple pleasure of food and nourishment. I love how you approach your cooking. The topic of stews, or one pots, is near and dear to me. Being fairly restricted with what I can eat and not having much energy, one pots have been a must. Here's my basic recipe for a low FODMAP, high protein Mediterranean one pot that's been the foundation of my diet these days:

3-4 packs tofu

1-2 can whole plum tomatoes

1-2 tbsp coconut oil

2-3 cups spinach or kale

1-2 sprigs green onion

6-8 green olives

1 tbsp each of thyme, sage and oregano

(paprika and cumin go really well too)

Mash the tofu and tomatoes right in the pit, chop up the olives and green onion (kitchen shears work best) and add the rest and simmer for about an hour.

That's the foundation of it to keep it low FODMAP, but if FODMAPs aren't a problem for you, keep going! You can also add:

Garlic (highly recommended)

Onion

Celery

Artichoke

Eggplant

Peppers

Carrot...

...and whatever else catches your fancy. I notice that you add exotic things to your pots so feel free!

Happy cooking!🥣🌷Barb
