The Elimination Diet… or how to eliminate all joy from your life

For the uninitiated, the Elimination Diet excludes all your typical allergens from the diet. I have pretty much eliminated all nuts anyway because of concerns about a nut allergy.. but eradicating dairy, eggs, gluten, nightshades*, soy, alcohol, caffeine, legumes really doesn’t leave much to consume on a vegan(ish) diet. I can avoid bread or dairy.. but soy really is a protein packed lifeline to vegans.

Tofu and French beans with chraimeh sauce | Yotam Ottolenghi (Ottolenghi Simple)

So chraimeh a river…
So to quote Yotam, ‘Chraimeh is a piquant sauce from Libya. It keeps well in the fridge for at least a week so make double or triple the quantities, It also works as a sauce for chicken or fish or just as a dip with bread before supper’. In practice, it’s a chilli sauce with a bit of musty cumin and caraway and the sourness of lime.
