Low FODMAP Garlic Dip

  • Easy
  • Starter
Ingredients
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Monini Delicato extra virgin olive oil
  • 6-10 fresh garlic cloves, paper skins removed and roughly sliced
  • 200g thick Greek yoghurt
  • 200g good quality Danish feta
  • 1-2 pickled garlic cloves (optional)
  • Lemon zest (optional)
  • Seasoning, to taste
Preparation

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a small pot over a medium heat. Once warmed, add the chopped fresh garlic. Cook, stirring intermittently, until the oil is deeply fragrant and the garlic is golden.
  2. Strain the garlic oil and set the garlic aside for use in non-FODMAP dishes. Allow the oil to cool completely.
  3. Once the oil has cooled, add 60-80ml of it to a food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Reserve 20ml to garnish the dip. Process the ingredients until a smooth, thick dip forms. If it’s not as thick as you’d like, pop it in the fridge for an hour.
  4. Serve topped with remaining garlic oil (or extra olive oil) and seasoning.
    Leftovers keep well in the fridge for a couple of days.

NOTE
Make sure you use a thick, pot set Greek yoghurt so that your dip isn’t runny.
If you’re not low FODMAP, you can use 2 or 3 cloves of garlic in the garlic oil, then add them to the food processor to be blended into the dip. You could also use the cooked pieces of garlic to garnish the dip.
Choose a soft variety of Danish feta to ensure a smooth dip.
A tiny drop of maple syrup and/or some Dijon mustard would make welcome additions to your dip.
