For some sufferers of acid reflux, ingredients such as onion or garlic can exacerbate symptoms. However, eating on an acid reflux diet doesn’t mean that these ingredients have to be avoided or excluded entirely. Instead, by allowing them to cook through longer, you can minimise or eliminate the impact of them entirely, and instead enjoy the flavours with ease.
Mushroom Risotto
This classic Italian rice dish is creamy and delicately flavoured, and makes for a wonderful vegetarian main course meal. You can enjoy it by itself as it is hearty and substantial enough on its own, or serve with a fresh salad on the side.
With a variety of different mushrooms, these add a meaty and complex variety of flavours to this dish.
This recipe does contain cheese – if you are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy products in general, you may want to omit the cheese entirely, or use a non-dairy version instead. It also contains wine which upsets some people. Most, however, find that it works well in this rather delightful dish.
