Rosie is making gremolata today.
What is gremolata, you ask?
Gremolata is a chopped herb condiment
typically made with parsley, garlic, and lemon zest
and traditionally served with osso bucco.
I'm stuffing tomatoes with it for a little appetizer.

Here's my mise en place:
1/4 cup parsley
2 TB basil
zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup toasted almonds
1 TB fresh rosemary
3-4 TB olive oil (ELBOO - That's extra light Bertolli olive oil!)
2 TB basil
zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup toasted almonds
1 TB fresh rosemary
3-4 TB olive oil (ELBOO - That's extra light Bertolli olive oil!)
I added the zest and minced herbs to my mini processor
and put in minced garlic, ...
(The reason I mince, chop, and zest things ahead of time,
even though they're all going into the processor anyway,
is that I get a much better consistency and texture when I do it myself.
Processors are nice, but they can't do everything.
Had I put everything into the processor to begin with,
some things would be over-processed
and other things would be under-processed
. You want a nice amalgamation.)
