Gremolata

(Gremolada, Gremolaa)

Gremolata is a classic Italian condiment made by finely chopping flat-leaf parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. The condiment is added as a final seasoning or garnish to numerous dishes. It's traditionally used as a garnish for ossobucco alla milanese (braised veal shank).


Gremolata is often used on braised meat because the long process of braising ensured that there won't be any fresh herbal flavors, so gremolata adds a perfect balance of citrusy, zesty, herbal, and pungent flavors. It can also be used to top fish, stews, and soups.
