Chimichurri
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Chimichurri blends parsley, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil into a vibrant herbaceous sauce. Fresh herbs and oil contain zero fermentable carbohydrates and remain highly digestible for sensitive systems. Traditional recipes rely heavily on garlic for depth, which introduces significant fructan load per serving. Commercial versions sometimes add onion powder or lemon juice to brighten flavor and extend shelf life. Removing garlic solids or using infused oil ensures safer consumption while preserving intended taste.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Substitute fresh garlic with garlic-infused olive oil to capture aromatic complexity without introducing water-soluble triggers. Blend thoroughly with red wine vinegar and smoked paprika for a balanced topping suitable for grilled meats. Store in the refrigerator under a thin oil layer to preserve vibrant color and prevent oxidation.
