Author Notes
Gremolata is the Milanese answer to Genovese pesto and Argentinian chimichurri: an herby, unblended sauce that cuts through heavier dishes and livens them up. Purist Gremolata is a golden ratio of garlic, lemon zest, and parsley, roughly minced together. But there are endless ways to play with that base. This version, with sesame and cilantro, is great over tofu and forbidden rice, grilled chicken (pictured here) or fish, roasted vegetables, and so much more. —Alison Cayne
