Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tbsp low FODMAP garlic-infused olive oil
  • ½ cup green onion – green parts only, chopped
  • 1 ¼ tsp dried basil
  • 180 g – 1 cup long-grain rice – jasmine rice works well here
  • 435 ml – 1 ¾ cups low FODMAP vegetable or chicken stock
  • 2 ½ tbsp tomato paste
  • ¾ tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 basil sprig
  • ⅓ cup basil leaves – chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the garlic olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the green onion and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Stir in the dried basil and tomato paste until well combined.

  2. Add the rice and paprika, then stir until the grains are coated in the tomato mixture. Pour in the stock and add the sugar. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the basil sprig. Cover again and continue cooking for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has been fully absorbed.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and leave the rice covered for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the basil sprig. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and taste for salt. Leave the rice uncovered for another 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Stir through the fresh basil and serve immediately.
