Gremolata

Gremolata is a classic Italian condiment that makes grilled and roasted meat brighter and fresher. With abundant fresh herbs, garlic and lemon, gremolata is a versatile, healthy accompaniment to chicken, salmon or even roasted potatoes and vegetables. It’s important not to use a food processor — that makes the texture mushy rather than rustic. A batch of gremolata keeps all week in the fridge. Experiment with different herbs like basil, cilantro or mint.

Ingredients:

2 bunches parsley cleaned and chopped
4 cloves garlic crushed with salt • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/3 c EVOO
Pinch of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Method:

Crush garlic with a pinch of sea salt using a mortar and pestle. Let sit for 10 min. Add olive oil and allow to sit.
Chop parsley roughly and place in a small mixing bowl.
Add zested and juiced lemon and olive oil and garlic mixture to the parsley. Mix well. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
