Ingredients

  • 450 Grams Ground Beef (1 lb) Sub: Turkey,Chicken or Low FODMAP Vegetarian option
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Large Carrot 120 Grams
  • 30 Grams Tomato Puree
  • 1 Can Crushed Tomatoes 400 Grams
  • 1 Cube Low FODMAP Stock Sub: Home made Low FODMAP Beef/Vegetable stock
  • 400 ml Water
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 Serving Cooked rice/pasta

Instructions

  • Peel and grate the carrot on the coarse side of a box grater, set aside for later.
  • Pre heat a frying pan to medium high heat and add half of the oil. Add the ground beef and fry until nice and browned, season with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked beef from the pan.
  • Add the other half of the oil to the pan and bring it back to a medium high heat. Add the tomato puree and fry for 1 minute to bring out all the flavours. Add the grated carrots, turn the heat down to medium, and fry for 3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the can of crushed tomatoes, stock cube and 400ml of water, then bring to a boil. Once boiling add the Dried Basil & Oregano and Balsamic Vinegar and reduce heat to medium low.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes on medium low heat. (This is a good time to cook pasta or rice). Towards the end of the 15 minutes taste the sauce and add some more seasonings if needed.

Notes

Variations
If you like the taste of garlic feel free to replace the oil with a low FODMAP garlic oil.
If it is to your liking you can add 50ml of red wine at the end of step 3 and let it reduce down for a couple of minutes.
I recommend grating a little bit of parmesan cheese over the top before serving this dish.
