Barbecue Gnocchi with Butternut Squash and Za'atar
Crisp-edged gnocchi, smoky from the barbecue, tumbled with sweet late-summer tomatoes, caramelised squash and a toasted za'atar and nutritional yeast crumb that delivers every savoury note the dish needs — this is late September on a plate, and it is as good as it looks. A cold glass of dry rosé or a pale ale alongside would not go amiss.

Low FODMAP Chimichurri Tempeh Steaks
A plant-based, low FODMAP adaptation of IBS Game Changer's Chimichurri Flank Steak. Thick tempeh planks are marinated overnight in a tangy, herb-forward bath of vegan red wine, garlic-infused olive oil, tamari and lime, then griddled until deeply charred and sliced on the diagonal. A vibrant, less-oily chimichurri — just half a cup of oil for six servings rather than the conventional cup-plus — is spooned generously over the top. Three key swaps make this version both fully plant-based and low FODMAP: tempeh replaces flank steak because it slices into sturdy planks, holds a marinade beautifully and sits within the Monash University low FODMAP threshold at 83 g per serve; vegan Worcestershire sauce (free of onion and garlic) replaces conventional Worcestershire sauce, which is neither vegan (it contains anchovies) nor low FODMAP (most versions contain onion and garlic); and the red wine is specifically a vegan wine, since conventional wines are often fined with animal-derived agents such as isinglass or casein. Garlic flavour comes entirely from garlic-infused olive oil — safe on a low FODMAP diet because fructans do not dissolve in oil — and the gentle onion note comes from the green tops of spring onion only, never the high-FODMAP white bulb.

Low FODMAP BBQ Tofu Skewers with Lemon Rosemary Sauce
A fully plant-based, low FODMAP take on Monash University's classic BBQ Chicken Skewers with Lemon Sauce. Cubes of pressed firm tofu are threaded onto skewers with courgette rings and red pepper chunks, grilled until golden and lightly charred, then finished with a silky lemon, rosemary and maple syrup pan sauce. Garlic-infused olive oil stands in for fresh garlic — the standard Monash substitution — delivering rich allium flavour without a single fructan. Bright, smoky and weeknight-fast.
