Method

  1. 1

    Chop. Chop the parsley very finely with a dry, sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Zest. Grate only the yellow layer of the lemon; the white pith is bitter.

  3. 3

    Mix. Toss the parsley, garlic and zest together in the bowl.

  4. 4

    Serve. Scatter straight away over braised beef shank, stews, roast fish or vegetables.

Storage

Best fresh; keep covered in the fridge for up to 1 day. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
