For me, one of the keys to thriving with celiac disease is having tasty condiments that also pack a lot of nutritional punch.
Chimichurri, a traditional Argentinian accompaniment for beef, full of parsley, garlic and olive oil offers a great way to get key healing nutrients.
Chimichurri goes well with beef, lamb, fish, eggs, or as a dip for gluten-free crackers. It mixes up quickly in your food-processor and will keep up to a week in the frig.
It’s a favorite at my house, so it never lasts that long!
