Notes
- Ingredients for this delicious Italian herb condiment should be finely chopped. If you prefer, use your food processor instead of chopping by hand!
- To get the best of your zest, use a zester for fine zest (paring knife or vegetable peeler work well for cocktails) to remove the colorful portion of the rind. But be careful not to remove the white pith, which is bitter.
Substitutions
- Garlic - fresh cloves or minced in a jar both work well
- Parsley - fresh parsley and herbs are best. Substitute with fresh mint leaves
