Low FODMAP Creamy Smoky Paprika Polenta

Thick, glossy polenta spiked with smoked paprika and finished with butter and Parmesan — this is the kind of deeply comforting bowl that feels indulgent but comes together in under 30 minutes. The smoky depth from the paprika does a lot of heavy lifting here, giving the dish a richness that makes it taste far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Polenta itself is a naturally gut-friendly grain, and this recipe keeps every component in check — coarse-ground cornmeal, real butter, and finely grated Parmesan are all safe territory. The one ingredient that needs a little attention is the broth: many store-bought versions sneak in garlic or onion, so reaching for a certified low-FODMAP brand or a homemade batch is the move that keeps this recipe on track. Scallion greens are used as a garnish rather than the white bulb, which is a small but important swap that adds a fresh, mild onion note without the digestive trouble. Stir everything together, taste for salt, and spoon it into bowls while it's still steaming. It serves four and works beautifully as a side or a cozy main on its own.
