NOTES
Gremolata is a versatile
condiment and garnish.
Sprinkled on a dish just
before serving, the
scent of the combined
ingredients once they hit
the heat excites the
palate. Originally based
on garlic, lemon rind and
parsley, there are many
variations using other
citrus rinds such as
orange, or adding pine
nuts and finely grated
parmesan. We’ve added
roasted almonds for
flavour and crunch.
Swap orange rind for
lemon rind in the chicken
coating and gremolata,
if you like.
