Gremolata is an Italian garnish typically used to add a touch of bright flavor to rich dishes like osso buco, roast lamb or pork. We've added toasted pistachios and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes that makes this a good match with vegetable-based dishes too. No pistachios? Substitute toasted almonds or pine nuts. Resist the urge to blend up all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Gremolata is meant to be a chunky, rather than pureed, condiment.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, and let stand 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Makes about 1/2 cup.
