What is Broccolini?
Broccolini is a cruciferous vegetable of the Brassicaceae family similar to broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussels sprouts. Broccolini is very similar to broccoli, but is slightly sweeter in taste, more tender once cooked, and has a smaller and delicate stalk.
What is Gremolata?
Gremolata is an Italian condiment made from finely minced parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. It is traditionally used for dishes or proteins that are considered to be a bit heavy or one-note in flavor. Use this gremolata anywhere you’d like to add a touch of fresh, vibrant, and earthy flavor.
