Gremolata with cold-pressed linseed oil
Tasty and versatile
I love this gremolata; it’s fresh, garlicky and versatile and add amazing flavour to almost anything. It is a variation on a plethora of herby oil-based sauces including salsa verde, green sauce and pesto. Traditionally gremolata is served with fish or beef but it’s also great with roasted vegetables, salads, wonderful with pulses and lovely in bean or lentil soup. Sometimes I just stir it into pasta or rice or when I want something savoury it’s tasty on a rice-cake. Using our Flax Farm cold-pressed linseed (flax seed) oil brings out the creaminess of the garlic and of course adds lots of healthy omega-3
Quick and easy
Gremolata is one of the quickest, easiest things to make and most flavoursome, for me it is the best return on effort for anything I make in the kitchen. You don’t need to worry too much about quantities, it’s really tasty whatever you do, sometimes you may want to add extra oil to process it. It is best to use a small food processor for speed but chopping the parsley and garlic very fine and giving it a good mashing in a mortar and pestle is easy works just as well.
Healthiest ingredients
Apart from being very tasty gremolata made with Flax Farm cold-pressed linseed (flax seed) oil must be the all-time healthiest sauce. Parsley, has the goodness of a green, leafy vegetable and has always been renowned for its blood-purifying properties, garlic is brimming with health benefits and our Flax Farm cold-pressed linseed oil is an ultra rich source of omega-3 so just a little of the sauce is really going to top up the nutrients in any meal.
