Tuna and Vegetable Loaf I mygutfeeling.eu #lowfodmap #glutenfree #lactosefree
This low FODMAP loaf is inspired by the savory French quick bread, cake salé. It’s moist, tender and very easy to make! The tuna, red pepper, herbs and olives add in an amazing combination of fresh flavors. Great sliced for a take-to-work lunch or with a green salad.

I’ve been dreaming of a good savory low FODMAP loaf for ages! I’ve tried a lot of quick bread recipes, even beer bread (!), but none seemed good enough to make a second time or to share with you, guys. I had pretty much given up until this Sunday when I decided to try out a cake salé (a savory French quick bread). The idea sounded wonderful so my Sunday kitchen adventure started!

I wanted to play around with the recipe a bit, so for the filling I thought about one of my favorite combinations: tuna+red peppers+olives. So fresh, so good! I added zome zucchini, green onion tops and parsley. The result? Well, I’ve been eating cake salé happily since Sunday, and I can hardly wait to bake another loaf.

    I’ve never heard of a savory quick bread, besides corn bread, and even that’s sometimes sweet. What an interesting idea! It almost reminds me of focaccia folks will make with lots of fresh vegetables baked into the top.
