Looking for a colorful, nourishing side dish that brings a festive spirit to any meal? This low-FODMAP Coconut Rice with veggies is a fantastic way to add the energy of carbs into your day without adding any bloat or discomfort. It’s an easy weeknight side-dish that comes together so simply, yet packs a flavor punch. With coconut, lime, and fresh cilantro, it’s a recipe that can easily accompany a variety of meals.
To start your low-FODMAP coconut rice with veggies, add rice, ½ tsp salt, coconut milk, and water to a medium saucepan with a lid. Stir and cover, bring to a boil and then immediately reduce heat to low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed, then remove from the heat and let the homemade coconut rice steam for 3 to 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, the next step is to prepare the veggies. Preheat a large skillet on medium heat. Add shallot oil and once it’s hot, add bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet, along with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook the veggies portion of your low-FODMAP coconut rice with veggies for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gently transfer the homemade coconut rice to a serving bowl. Add lime juice, salsa, taco seasoning, and most of the veggies. Stir gently, then top with the remaining veggies, tomatoes, cilantro, and optional coconut flakes.
