Gremolata

Italian Gremolata


Facebook

This can be used just about anywhere.  Add it to chicken, steaks, seafood just before serving.  Toss it with potatoes, salad, pasta.  This will add flavor to any dish. 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch Italian parsley, washed and dried (enough to make 1 cup loosely packed)
  • 1 clove garlic, papery skin removed
  • 2 organic lemons, washed and dried

Directions 

  • Remove the parsley leaves from the stems — enough to make 1 cup when very loosely packed.
  • Chop the parsley with a chef’s knife until it is nearly finely chopped. It should be less than 1/2 cup.
  • Using a microplane or fine-toothed grater, grate the garlic clove over the parsley.
  • Using the same grater (don’t bother to wash it), grate just the zest from the two lemons on top of the garlic. 
    Bonus: Grating the garlic first and then the lemon will help to rid the microplane of garlic odors!
  • Continue to chop the parsley, mixing in the garlic and lemon as you go, until the parsley is chopped very fine
  • Use the gremolata right away or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
