Eggplant Zucchini Lasagna (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)

September 30, 2016 By Riley 5 Comments

When the weather starts turning cold, I find that I am ready for some comfort food.

But when eating dairy, gluten, or soups made with onion or garlic are out of the question, it can seem like not many comfort foods remain.  That thought got me inspired.  How do I create something satisfying, delicious, and nutritious to fill the comfort food cravings?

Then, I found Kite Hill Ricotta at a local grocery store (New Season’s Market Slabtown)- it’s dairy-free cheese that actually tastes like real cheese.  And it’s a pretty clean product as well.

I had zucchini from my garden and eggplant from our farm share (Able Farms PDX CSA) to use up.  Lasagna was the only answer.

For those of you who cannot eat any grains (even something as easy to digest as brown rice), you can adapt this recipe to your needs.  Instead of adding zucchini to the meat sauce, you can use a vegetable peeler to create ribbon shaped “zucchini lasagna noodles” that can be used in place of the brown rice lasagna noodles.

Some of the ingredients used in this recipe may be a little tricky to find at your local grocery store.  I recommend using Kite Hill’s Store Locator to find the “cheese”.  Order Rao’s Sensitive Formula Marinara Sauce online (or try to find one at the store with little to no onion or garlic- might be tricky!).  You may also want to order Tinkyada Gluten-Free Lasagna Noodles online, but I haven’t had too much trouble getting them at the store.

    Hi Riley!
    Nice recipe as always!
    Do you find Brown rice easier to digest than white rice?

      Hi Patrik- Yes, I definitely digest brown rice better than white rice. It has made me suspicious of my symptoms being more a yeast than bacteria picture, but that has just never fit with my propensity toward non-GI bacterial infections instead of yeast infections. How about you- which do you digest better?

        Hi!
        I missed you’re reply.. Anyway, I have actually only tried it once in the last couple of years. Maybe 2-3 weeks ago and I’m not sure if it was the Brown rice or something in the previous meal, wich was oats, or the combination of two higher fiber meals in a row, but something didn’t sit well with me then…. I will try it again some day when I havent had anything like oats or nuts or quinoa in the previous meal.

          I find that oats are not something I tolerate very well. I do much better with other gluten-free whole grains such as quinoa, millet, sorghum, teff, buckwheat, etc.

If you find ones that are fully green and firm, throw them in the fridge to stop the ripening (or peel and slice to keep in the freezer for longer). When ready to eat: peel, slice, and steam for a starchy side for chili, soups, and more. They’re rich in resistant starch, which helps promote a healthy gut microbiome. Ripe bananas (yellow with brown spots) give me acne and make me more congested, but not these 🎉 Gimme all that potassium, magnesium, B6, and resistant starch. Have you tried steamed green bananas?
