What is Gremolata?
Gremolata is a sauce or condiment made with Italian parsley, lemon zest and garlic. Usually, a dry condiment that you serve with protein like fish or delicious osso buco. I love it with oil. It keeps it fresher for longer and looks amazing on almost everything!

It is as simple as only a few ingredients to whip together for this super tasty easy gremolata.

This is totally new to me! Looking at your Savory Mince recipe, I found this! I just had 2 big bunches of fresh parsley given to me and was wondering what to do with it…besides drying it! Can it be frozen or would that totally spoil it? I just recently found your website and like the looks of some of your recipes. Definitely will be making the Mince…which in the US, I would call it BBQ hamburger!!

You can use frozen parsley but I would definitely recommend fresh

Im not a lover of chicken so use this on pork or lamb chops. Its the bomb -
I love how fresh and vibrant the lemon gremolata is. It’s perfect on chicken Milanese and steak and with fresh parsley growing in the garden I make this quite often. It’s quick, simple and delicious.
