Gremolata
Gremolata is one of Italy’s favourite condiments. Most often it contains parsley, lemon zest, salt and garlic. Sometimes we add a bit of olive oil and other times, like this version, some seeds.
Gremolata is used as a sauce over pasta or grilled meats and vegetables….or to give soups and stews a boost.
We sprinkled this Gremolata on Harissa Meatballs and Lemon Yogurt Sauce.
