Gluten Free Herb Persillade
Fresh, vibrant, and ready in minutes, this classic French herb condiment is one of those kitchen staples that instantly elevates everything it touches. Bright flat-leaf parsley, pungent garlic, and a hit of lemon zest come together in a fragrant, coarsely chopped mixture that's equal parts rustic and refined. A drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil binds it all into something you'll want to spoon over grilled meats, roasted vegetables, fish, or even a simple bowl of soup. Because it's built entirely from whole, naturally grain-free ingredients — fresh herbs, citrus, garlic, and oil — there's nothing to swap out or second-guess. No thickeners, no fillers, no hidden flour-based additives that can sneak into store-bought sauces and condiments. The technique is beautifully low-tech: just a cutting board, a sharp knife, and a small bowl. Keep a batch in the fridge and you've got an instant flavor upgrade on standby for the whole week.

6 servings
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, tightly packed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt, or to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the parsley leaves on a cutting board until the pieces are uniform and about 1/8 inch — the mixture should look like a coarse, bright-green rubble rather than a paste.
- 2
Add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the parsley and chop everything together briefly until the garlic is evenly distributed through the herbs.
