Low FODMAP Sage-Butter Corn Polenta

Creamy, golden, and deeply comforting, this polenta comes together with stone-ground cornmeal simmered low and slow in a mix of water and chicken broth until it's thick, glossy, and practically spoonable velvet. The finishing move — a quick brown butter with crispy sage leaves — takes the whole bowl somewhere special, filling your kitchen with that irresistible nutty, herby aroma before you've even sat down. For anyone navigating a low-FODMAP lifestyle, this kind of rich, satisfying comfort food can feel hard to come by, but every ingredient here plays nicely with sensitive digestion. There's no onion, no garlic, no hidden high-FODMAP fillers — just real, simple pantry staples doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The Parmesan stirred into the polenta adds a savory depth that makes each bowl feel genuinely indulgent rather than like a compromise. A pinch of flaky sea salt over the top right before serving pulls everything into focus. This one serves four and is the kind of weeknight dinner that quietly becomes a regular in the rotation.
