Gremolata

By
Published:
This is an Italian garnish that is traditionally sprinkled over osso buco, but it also livens up soups, salads, pasta, and even sandwiches.

Gremolata

Ingredients

1 cup loosely packed parsley
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped

Directions

Combine all ingredients in an electric food processor and process until finely minced.

Notable Notes

Some chefs add finely chopped mint to their gremolata, or completely replace the parsley with mint. As lamb is often complimented with mint condiments, this type of gremolata goes very well with lamb. With a mint gremolata intended for lamb, consider adding a dash of white sugar or simple syrup to bring out the sweetness of the mint. A wonderful way to update a gourmet lamb dinner is to prepare a mint gremolata to be served instead of bright green mint jelly.

Makes about 1/2 cup to serve 4 to 6.
