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.
