  • Quick Low-FODMAP Ragu

    ✓ Monash FODMAP · Phase 1 Compliant A proper meat sauce built without garlic or onion by using finely diced carrots and zucchini as the flavor base instead.

That golden crust and the caramelized fond left behind become the flavor backbone of the coconut-ginger sauce — no garlic cloves, no onion,…
