Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, packed Fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Toasted pine nuts or almonds
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the fresh flat-leaf parsley. Gather it into a tight bundle and use a sharp knife to mince until the leaves are very fine. Transfer the parsley to a small bowl.
Using a microplane or fine grater, zest the lemons to measure 2 teaspoons of zest. Add this to the bowl of parsley.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or grate them. Add the garlic to the parsley mixture.
Roughly chop the toasted pine nuts or almonds if they are large. Add these to the parsley mixture along with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle in the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly using a spoon until well combined.
Taste the gremolata and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve immediately as a topping for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or pasta. Alternatively, store the gremolata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
