    I've Officially Found The Greatest Condiment At Trader Joe's

    Introducing your new favorite condiment.

    I do most of my food shopping at Trader Joe's, and I could easily spend hours browsing the options in the prepared food and frozen aisles.

    Any loyal Trader Joe's shopper knows that there are constantly new and amazing products popping up on the shelves.

    Well, the other day I found this chili oil crunch in the new arrivals shelf. I immediately threw one into my cart.

    It's made with olive oil, dried onions and garlic, crushed chili peppers, and dried red bell peppers. It packs a serious kick and it has a super-satisfying crunch.

    My initial instinct was to eat it by the spoonful, which proved delicious but also insanely spicy. So I decided to do the more responsible thing and put it on pasta.

    Mix a spoonful of the chili onion crunch into your pasta, and you've got what's *basically* instant dan dan noodles. This is going to be a new staple in my lazy dinner routine.

    I've tried the chili onion crunch on roasted veggies, on my morning avocado toast, and even on roasted chicken. It truly tastes amazing on anything savory.

    I even made Alison Roman's famous poached fish recipe and substituted the homemade chili oil for this store-bought stuff.

    Anyway, I just wanted to write this little PSA to let you know that should you find yourself near a Trader Joe's in the near future, you should put a jar of this chili onion crunch in your cart. You won't regret it.
