Why it works
- Wheat allergy: No wheat anywhere: pork, berries, rice and zucchini with olive oil and thyme.
- Milk allergy: The pan sauce is built on berries and pan juices, no butter or cream.
- Gluten-free: Rice, pork, fruit and vegetables only; the sauce thickens itself in the pan.
- Dairy-free: Olive oil does the searing, and the glossy sauce needs no dairy at all.
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.
