This aubergine dip recipe is a FODMAP-friendly dish to make in advance to use as a spread on a low FODMAP-friendly carbohydrate base – for example, wheat-free pitta, rice cakes and oat cakes. Instead of garlic infused oil, try asafoetida powder to flavour the dip; this gives a good onion and garlic taste without the use of these high FODMAP ingredients, which for some people with gut sensitivity can cause unwanted symptoms. One serving provides approximately one of your five-a-day.
