A few months ago, I was approached to write an article about the low Fodmap diet for the Free-From Heaven magazine. Well, the issue has just been published and is out in shops for sale now. I am excited that they used my copy basically word for word and didn’t change anything, which means all the information is accurate. That’s the cover on the left in the image and the first page of my article on the right. They have even included a couple of my recipes in their entirety. They have made a lovely job of the layout too so I am a happy chappy.
Meatloaf Roulade
I got the idea for this from www.thehealthyfoodie.com but used quite different ingredients to make it low Fodmap. I pre-prepared it and left it in the fridge so I had nothing to do come dinnertime except stick it in the oven and take it out. It is a one-dish meal because it has the protein, carbs and veges all in together. It looks a bit messy in the photo and it did spill potato out one side but the rest held up pretty well. That is cheese oozing from the middle - yum!
- 450gms/1lb mincemeat
- 2 spring onions, sliced (green part only)
- 1 tsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp dried mustard
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp crushed coriander seeds
- 4 potatoes, cooked and mashed
- A bunch of spinach or silverbeet, lightly steamed
- Mature cheese
- Salt & pepper
- 6 slices of streaky bacon.
- Combine all the ingredients and mix well.
- Spread the mixture out on a sheet of baking paper to form a square. Keep it fairly thin.
- Heat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Spread the mashed potato out all over the square.
- Lay the cooked spinach/silverbeet over the potatoes.
- Grate the cheese on top.
- Using the paper to help you, roll the roulade up and seal the ends.
- Place (with the paper) into an oiled loaf tin and cut off the excess paper, leaving enough to help you remove it from the tin.
- Lay the slices of bacon over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Take out of the tin, using the paper and roll onto a wooden board.
- Serve in thick slices.
Congrats on being asked to write for the magazine and that’s such a compliment that your copy wasn’t changed. I do love the look of your meatloaf! That’s a wonderful family meal xx
I Know, I was thrilled they didn’t change anything. The meatloaf looks very rustic, like a good farmer’s meal.
Congratulations, Suzanne! Where is this magazine published? Is it available in the U.S.? Thanks!
It’s published in the UK. Not sure if you get it in the US.
Hi Suzanne
I have recently discovered the Free From magazine and noticed that this month there was to be an article on the FODMAP diet and really pleased to find that you have written it
I can’t wait to go and get my copy
Sue
It’s a great magazine and I love my association with them.
Is Mincemeat the same as ground beef?
Yes, exactly the same.
I was looking for something a bit different and made meatloaf cupcakes with this recipe. Love them.
Great variety and textures to take for lunch.
I am glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lisa.
