Christmas dinner wouldn’t be complete without a delicious gravy to bring everything together. This Easy Low Fodmap adaptation of Jamie Oliver’s famous get-ahead gravy ensures everyone at the table can enjoy the festive feast without worry. With roasted chicken wings, herbs, and a touch of cranberry sauce, it’s full of depth and flavour while remaining tummy-friendly. Yes, it calls for a generous list of ingredients and a bit of time in the kitchen, but that extra effort pays off beautifully — making it the perfect recipe to prepare ahead for those special occasions when only the best will do.

Ingredients
(Serves 4)
1 kg chicken wings
400g carrots, roughly chopped
3 large leeks (dark green tops only), chopped
4 rashers smoked streaky bacon
Large bunch of fresh sage
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 star anise
Pinch of salt
1 glass red or white wine
2 tbsp gluten-free flour
1 litre boiling water
2 low FODMAP chicken or vegetable stock cubes (I use Massel's 7's Chicken Style Stock Cubes)
1 tbsp cranberry sauce
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Place chicken wings, carrots, leek tops, bacon, sage, rosemary, star anise, and a pinch of salt into a large roasting tray.
Roast for 1 hour, until golden and aromatic.
Remove from the oven and mash everything gently with a potato masher to release the flavours.
Transfer the tray to the hob over high heat. Pour in the wine, bring to the boil, and cook for 2 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring well.
Dissolve the stock cubes in 1 litre of boiling water, then pour into the tray.
Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
Stir in the cranberry sauce for a festive touch.
Strain the gravy through a sieve into a clean pan or container.
Cool completely, then reheat until piping hot when needed. (Alternatively, freeze after cooling, then defrost and reheat before serving.)
‘Super-cheat’ product recommendation: Whilst I make this gravy every Christmas, for regular family meals I recommend keeping things simple with a certified instant option. Massel's Rich Roast Gravy is a fantastic low FODMAP alternative that saves time and still has good flavour and texture. You can find it here: Massel Rich Roast Gravy – Fodmarket.
