Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley (about ¾ cup chopped)
  • Zest from 1 medium lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced

Instructions

  1. To prepare the parsley, wash and pat it dry with a clean tea towel (wet parsley will make your gremolata clumpy).
  2. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice off the thick parsley stems and discard them. Finely chop the parsley (thin stems are fine to include). Transfer the chopped parsley to a small serving bowl.
  3. Add the lemon zest and garlic clove. Stir to combine. Gremolata is best served fresh. It will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.

Notes

Change it up: So many options! Substitute another variety of citrus, such as orange or lime. Try turning it into a sauce by mixing in olive oil and salt, to taste. Add toasted pine nuts or grated Parmesan, if desired. While unconventional, I bet a cilantro and lime combination would be very good with Mexican meals.
