Gremolata

Gremolata is a mixture of chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon peel. This is added to stews at the end of their cooking time to add pungency to the dish.

Ingredients:
Gremolata
1 orange
1 lemon
1/4 cup parsley leaves
1 small garlic clove
2 tablespoons horseradish











Directions:

This is Caesar.  He is my trusty zester.  You will need a zester for this.  If you don’t have a zester then use a grater or you can peel the citrus with a vegetable peeler and then chop it finely.  Either way to achieve the zest you don’t want to hit white pith.  Let’s grab a bowl and start zesting!
Zest the entire orange
Zest your lemon
Peel the leaves of the parsley off the stems and discard your stems.  Chop the parsley very fine.
This is one of my shortcuts.  For the garlic you can peel and chop a fresh clove, but I am as equally happy as adding 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic.
Depending on the desired heat of you want for your Gremolata grate a little or a lot of the Horseradish.

Stir and set aside for use. Maybe top your Lamb Shanks with it.
