We’ve collaborated with Monash FODMAP Certified to create a 3-course procession of dishes from Calm Tummy Happy Heart cookbook. Featuring ingredients from the American Southwest, get the delicious details and recipes for —

Starter: Green Chile Crab Cakes

Delicate and flavorful, buttery green chiles are gently combined with flakey crabmeat, pan seared, then served over chilled lettuce with a bright spritz of lime.

Main: Pollo Dorado (Golden Chicken) with Lemon Poblano Sauce

Pollo Dorado achieves the ultimate golden, crunchy chicken fillets! A hearty, crispy follow-up to our delicate appetizer, the secret is a common southwestern breading made with fine ground tortilla chips offering a crunchy exterior that also seals in the juices for succulent, baked chicken in every bite. 

Side: Cilantro Green Rice with Spinach and Lime

White rice tossed with a pesto consistency puree of fresh baby spinach, scallion green parts, fresh cilantro and lime juice creates a simple, bright side to many southwestern main dishes. 

Dessert: Vanilla Flan with Caramel Sauce

This beloved dessert of dreamy, creamy custard with rich, golden caramel is a treat for any occasion. The preparation of coating the pan with caramel, then adding the flan mixture to bake in a water bath is simple yet tastes like hours of effort were required. 

Wishing you a calm tummy and happy heart!
