A gremolata is a chopped herb condiment of parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Although it might traditionally go with osso bucco for a meat eater, it's also great over vegetables! I've paired it with green beans here, but use any steamed vegetable of your choice for an elegant side dish.Trim the ends from 1 pound of green beans, then steam, covered, for 7 minutes.
Drain the beans, and return to the pan. Toss with 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (which you can toast first, if you like), 1/4 tsp. grated lemon rind, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. black pepper, and 1 minced garlic clove.
1 cup of green beans makes a side serving of 60 calories.
Cost:
green beans $1.40
flat-leaf parsley $1.69
lemon $0.89
