Gremolata - Italian Parsley, Lemon, Garlic Condiment
Ingredients
- 1) Fresh Parsley
- Specifically, flat-leaf parsley is the way to go here. The trick is to wash and pat dry the parsley before using so it doesn’t clump together once chopped.
- 2) Lemon Zest
- Lemon zest adds a jolt of brightness to our gremolata. If possible, use an organic lemon for gremolata since the peels of conventional lemons are typically exposed to pesticides.
- 3) Garlic
- One medium clove of garlic brings complexity and heat to this simple garnish. The key is to use fresh garlic, never jarred minced garlic. Use your garlic press or finely mince the garlic by hand.
- Gremolata Variations
- While parsley, lemon and garlic yield classic gremolata flavor, you can absolutely play with your ingredients. Here are some ideas:
- Try adding some fresh mint or basil to the mix
- Substitute orange or lime or even grapefruit zest for the lemon
- Stir in olive oil and salt, to taste, to transform this dry condiment into an herbal sauce
- Add toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds or grated Parmesan
- Substitute cilantro and lime for a variation that will suit Mexican meals
