Ingredients

• 1 cup, packed Fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Toasted pine nuts or almonds
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the fresh flat-leaf parsley. Gather it into a tight bundle and use a sharp knife to mince until the leaves are very fine. Transfer the parsley to a small bowl.

Step 2

Using a microplane or fine grater, zest the lemons to measure 2 teaspoons of zest. Add this to the bowl of parsley.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or grate them. Add the garlic to the parsley mixture.

Step 4

Roughly chop the toasted pine nuts or almonds if they are large. Add these to the parsley mixture along with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Pour in the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle in the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly using a spoon until well combined.

Step 6

Taste the gremolata and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a topping for roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or pasta. Alternatively, store the gremolata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
