Gremolata is an Italian garnish or condiment which, in my opinion, is really at it's best when served with roast chicken. Spoon a huge dollop over hot roasted chicken and the smell is amazing.
Just imagine, lemon and garlic along with parsley mixing with some of the pan juices from the chicken. A good chunk of bread is vital for dipping and moping!
The other good news is that it's really easy to make.
A good handful of flat leaved parsley - leaves picked and finely chopped
2 fat garlic cloves - finely chopped
the zest of two lemons - finely chopped
Give the lot another good chop then mix together, seasoning with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Now add a little extra virgin olive oil, give it a good squeeze of lemon juice......
Job done; Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
Looks good! I would love to try it :)

ReplyDeleteThat looks perfect. We love it on cooked lamb shanks as well.
ReplyDeleteI made a gremolata once a while ago and enjoyed it. I really should keep it in mind and use it more often.
ReplyDeleteYUM. I love simple things like this that just make all the difference.
