Poblano peppers are lovely sweet and mild green peppers. They make a divine enchilada sauce that goes great with almost anything. My favorite kind of enchilada to use this sauce with is shredded beef, so I usually use some left over pot roast and this sauce to whip up some killer enchiladas, the recipe for which I will be sharing in tomorrow’s post. The full recipe isn’t exactly low FODMAP, but I have a few ideas on how to make it work for most people, so if you’ve been feeling deprived of Latin-American fare, stay tuned. I have lots of great recipes in store for you.

Green Enchilada Sauce (Low FODMAP)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons all purpose regular or gluten-free flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon pepper*
• ¼ teaspoon oregano
• 2 cups chicken stock (see recipe here)
• 1 7 oz can diced green chiles
• A few dashes Tobasco sauce or 1 finely diced medium jalepeno* (optional)

In a medium sauce pan, heat oil on medium. Stir in flour and spices and mix into a paste. Whisk in chicken stock, stirring frequently. Add green chiles and continue to stir until slightly thickened, approximately 10 minutes. Add Tobasco sauce to taste, if desired.

*These items may need to be omitted or substituted if you’re on the low histamine diet.
