Low FODMAP and Gluten Free Shakshuka This quarantine situation has me using all of my canned foods that were one piled deep in my pantry. I realized I had one can of crushed tomatoes and I needed a break from pasta sauce (although I'm sure I'll be ready for pasta with sauce again very soon - but we have had a lot of that in our house lately)! So, I decided to make shakshuka, but with a twist that keeps it low FODMAP for those who need it. Needless to say, this will now be a p
