Method
 

  1. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Chop all vegetables to uniform sizes for even cooking. Measure portion sizes according to Monash app.
  2. LAYER IN SLOW COOKER: Place proteins on bottom, add vegetables, then pour liquids and add seasonings.
  3. USE GARLIC-INFUSED OIL: Always use garlic-infused oil instead of fresh garlic. Drizzle over ingredients.
  4. COOK ON LOW: Most low FODMAP slow cooker recipes work best on LOW for 6-8 hours for maximum tenderness.
  5. CHECK PORTIONS: When serving, ensure vegetable portions stay within low FODMAP limits per serving.
  6. STORE PROPERLY: Divide into individual portions and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
