Gremolata

What is a Gremolata vs. a Vinaigrette or Dressing?

Divina P

Gremolata

Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment made of parsley, garlic and lemon zest, which is traditionally served as an important finish to Osso Buco, an Italian dish of Braised Veal Shank.

In this recipe, I added oil and some lemon juice to make a dressing/vinaigrette. And since I don't have parsley, I used basil instead.

Most cooks alter the ingredients of gremolata. They replace parsley with mint or rosemary and lemon with orange depending on the flavor profile of the whole dish. Whoever invented gremolata is a genius. This sprightly mixture adds liveliness to a simple grilled steak, chicken, fish, and prawns or toss with potatoes and vegetables or sprinkle over soups, even with pasta and many others.

The ratio may be used in roughly equal parts, according to the dish or to your own taste.

I hope this helps.
