Gremolata, a Parsley Powerpunch
A nutritious Italian herbal condiment that provides flavor and color to your meals.
Ingredients
- ½ a bunch of rinsed, dried and trimmed Italian parsley leaves.
- 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
- 1 tbsp. finely grated lemon zest
Directions

- Finely chop the ingredients and place in a bowl. Combine together and sprinkle on your next vegetable, meat or seafood recipe. If you want to release the flavors and aromas even more, grind the ingredients with a mortar and pestle. The grinding action will release more intense flavors and aromas for your food preparations.
- I sprinkled ½ of the Gremolata on the shrimp before grilling and the remaining ½ when plating to give them more flavor.
