Moderate FODMAP
Garlic Butter Sauce
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Garlic butter sauce simmers butter, garlic, and herbs into a rich and aromatic finishing liquid. Fresh garlic contributes significant fructan load that concentrates during cooking and coating. Pure butter contains negligible lactose, but commercial variations often add wheat flour or onion powder for thickening. Those following strict low-FODMAP protocols should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into meals. Removing garlic solids or using infused oil ensures safer consumption while preserving intended flavor.

Melt unsalted butter and steep with whole peeled garlic cloves, then remove solids before straining and drizzling. Avoid commercial preparations that list wheat flour or onion extract near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Serve immediately over cooked proteins to enjoy optimal temperature and flavor integration without cooling separation.
