This recipe didn’t need any changes, taste-wise, but when I started cooking for a friend on a lectin-free diet, a couple of changes were necessary to have it fit within her dietary guidelines. The good news is, not only did changing the recipe to make it lectin-free make it easier and healthier, but it also made it tastier!
