Gremolada traditionally consists of minced garlic, parsley, and lemon zest. We've added lemon juice and orange zest to bring even more citrus flavor to the dish. The garlic here is raw and the quantity generous; feel free to cut back.

Our Pairing Suggestion

The acidity in this dish will pair well with a light, simple white wine. Among the many good choices are Vinho Verde from Portugal and Fendant from Switzerland.
