We know how challenging it is to find a dinner that feels cozy and delicious without leaving your tummy upset later. That’s why we are so excited to share this low-FODMAP pumpkin risotto with you.
It’s creamy, dreamy, and totally dairy-free, but the best part is that it’s gentle on digestion. Think of it as comfort food that actually loves you back.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil (FODMAP-friendly flavor boost!)
- 1 small leek (green tops only), finely sliced
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 2 ½ cups low-FODMAP vegetable broth (make sure it’s onion and garlic-free)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (no added sugars or spices)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream (for extra creaminess)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch
How to Make It:
- Warm the garlic-infused olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leek tops and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and let it toast lightly.
- Pour in about ½ cup of broth and stir gently until absorbed. Keep adding broth, a little at a time, stirring often, until the rice is tender and creamy (about 20 minutes).
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut cream, and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm, topped with parsley and pumpkin seeds if you like a little crunch.
Quick Tips
- Keep broth warm in a separate pan. It helps the rice cook evenly.
- Don’t rush! Stirring slowly makes the risotto creamy without dairy.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of broth to loosen it up.
