Gremolata
The classic accompaniment to Milanese ossobuco.
Prep Time 2 minutes mins
Total Time 2 minutes mins
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch parsley
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
To make the gremolata, grate the lemon zest. Peel the garlic, and give it a whack with the flat side of a larger knife. Remove the thicker stems from the parsley. Grate only the very outer, yellow peel of the lemon, not the white part! Chop the garlic and parsley with a sharp knife.
Finally, add the grated lemon zest and mix everything together.
The gremolata is ready. Sprinkle it fresh over ossobuco or another dish. If you have any left, store it in a sealable container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, or in the freezer for a few months. But it won’t be as aromatic as when freshly made.
