Gremolata
Appearance
Gremolata or gremolada (Italian pronunciation: [ɡremoˈlaːta] or Italian pronunciation: [ɡremoˈlaːda]) is a chopped herb condiment classically made of lemon zest, garlic, parsley and anchovy. It is a traditional accompaniment to the Milanese braised veal shank dish ossobuco alla milanese.[1] Gremolata is also used as a garnish.[2]
Ingredients
Gremolata usually includes grated lemon peel, although the zest from other citrus fruits (lime, orange, grapefruit, etc.) may be used. There are also other variations, such as leaving out the herbs (parsley, cilantro/coriander, mint, sage) or the feature (garlic, finely grated fresh horseradish, minced shallot) or adding another item (Pecorino Romano cheese, anchovy, toasted pine nuts, grated bottarga).
