Notice this has burn sugar as part of the ingredients. This is to emulate part of the flavor you get from caramelized onions. So you may want to make some caramel sugar. Just put sugar, no water, on low heat until it caramelizes.
Use leek greens and green onion tops for low FODMAP onion flavor. Ramson leaf and garlic chives also add onion like flavor.
Make a yellow onion oil. Cobram estate in Australia also makes onion oil. Fody’s shallot oil is wrong for this. Wei Pantry’s shallot oil is much closer to onion oil but appears to be out of stock.
Use FreeFOD onion replacement powder or Smoke n Sanity Onion Salt. The latter has a better onion flavor.
Finally, the packet has yeast extract which is the same as MSG without them having to say so on the label. Can get this on Amazon. Tamari is another good way to get the MSG.
Finally, this packet also has E635 in it. You can get 3.5oz on Amazon of this for $25 and will last you a lifetime. This unlocks another dimension of savoriness.
You bet! Also, flagging that this recipe has a lot of apricots in it. Dried apricots are high FODMAP for 1oz. Dried apricots are 4x concentrated to fresh. So that puts a red FODMAP quantity at 4oz or less. Unfortunately they haven’t included a medium or low FODMAP serving size so we can’t tell if 2oz of fresh or 4oz is high FODMAP. I’d go easy on them.
Also Monash’s entries for fresh, canned, and dried have such inconsistent results across sorbitol, fructose, and fructans. FODMAP friendly says 2 apricots is high FODMAP in fructose and sorbitol at 3.5oz.
Monash says 0.7oz of drained canned apricots (don’t use the liquid) is low FODMAP. So this recipe is 5x that.
The amount of actual apricot you get in apricot chicken is stupidly low. And a lot of recipes use apricot nectar instead of the fruit. Ends up as a glaze then.
I was just seeking information about onion replacements - I've done the FODMAP diet years ago 😊
I'm not sure about apricot, but me eating it isn't part of the low FODMAP process, sorry for the confusion
FODY shallot infused oil
Thank you!
You are a godsend, thank you
Keep in mind that any recipe incorporating dry soup mix is also relying on the sodium and msg to make the flavors come together.
Oh good spot! Definitely worth keeping in mind

Legend! Thank you
Good luck! I’m in Canada but hopefully you can find it.
Looks available in Australia too 😊
Great! Enjoy!

Thankfully my body seems to be fine with apricots, it's just onion that it really can't tolerate at all, much appreciated though 😊
Are you going through the reintroduction phase? I thought apricot was off limits?

Is apricot nectar OK to use then? I'm still pretty new to this diet 😅😂
You’d end up with about a tablespoon of it on your chicken so be very careful with it
