GREMOLATA

Gremolata (gremolada) is traditionally made with parsley, lemon zest and garlic which is sprinkled over Osso Buco (veal shanks) to add a fresh bright flavor. Chef Bob has taken some license here and almost made a pesto that is lamb friendly by the addition of fresh mint.

Ingredients:

2 lemons zested
¼ cup chopped parsley
1/8 cup chopped mint
4 cloves garlic paste
2 anchovies-pasted
1 TBS pine nuts, toasted, chopped fine
as needed sea salt, coriander and EVOO

Method:

Zest lemons into a small bowl; stir in chopped herbs; fold in garlic, anchovies and nuts; adjust seasonings with sea salt, ground coriander and pepper;

Moisten with small amount of EVOO.
