Why it works
- Celiac disease: The stock and wine are the only hidden-gluten risks, so use a certified gluten-free stock and dry wine.
- Milk allergy: All the creaminess comes from olive oil and slow stirring — no butter, cream or cheese anywhere.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
