Wheat Free Herb & Ginger Schug
This vibrant green condiment is bold, herby, and just a little fiery — the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Fresh cilantro and flat-leaf parsley form the leafy backbone, while garlic, ginger, turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon layer in warmth and complexity that builds with every bite. A splash of lemon juice and a drizzle of good olive oil pull it all together into a coarse, spoonable paste that's deeply satisfying without being fussy. Because it's built entirely from fresh herbs, aromatics, and pantry staples, there's nothing here to flag for anyone avoiding wheat — no fillers, no thickeners, no hidden grain-based additives to second-guess. The food processor does the heavy lifting in just a few pulses, so you're not standing over a cutting board for long. It's the kind of sauce you'll want to keep stocked in the fridge all week, ready to go on roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, eggs, or honestly just a spoon.
