Steps
Steps
- 1Zest the lemons with a fine grater or peeler, taking only the yellow. Any white pith brings bitterness.
- 2Peel the garlic and, if you want it milder, remove the green germ from the centre.
- 3Pile the parsley, zest, garlic and sea salt together on a board and chop them all at once with a large knife, gathering and re-chopping several times.
- 4Chopping them together rather than separately is the whole technique — the oils mingle on the board.
- 5Do not use a food processor; it bruises the parsley and makes a wet paste.
- 6Stir in the oil only if you want it spoonable; classically it is dry.
- 7Make it within an hour of serving. Gremolata loses its perfume fast.
