Crab Cakes

By 1 Comment

Low FODMAP Crab Cakes — just like the fan favorite! They can be eaten as a weeknight dinner course or served as a starter with garnish and elegant presentation. There is an optional Roasted Red Pepper Sauce in the Sauce & Others section to accompany the crab cakes (it’s another step to make but tastes incredible).

Make sure to use gluten free breadcrumbs which are also free of lactose and other culprits. Three good brands include: Gillian Bread Crumbs Wheat Free Gluten Free Dairy Free, 12-Ounce (Pack of 4), Ian’s Gluten Free Panko Bread Crumbs [ Original ] 6 Pack and Glutino Gluten Free Breadcrumbs Original — 12 oz Each / Pack of 3.

    Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

    By 2 Comments

    This low FODMAP Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is easy to make and has an incredibly complex and smoky flavor. The secret is in both the roasting process as well as the saffron. Don’t worry that the outer skin of the roasted red pepper is black, as it’ll be peeled off and discarded. The end result is a rich orange color that will add visual and flavorful impact on the Crab Cakes dish.

    This sauce is usually such a hit for dipping dinner bread that my guests ask to take some home with them. Give it a try, it’s really worth it!
