Make raw garlic yum
Gremolata is one of my all time favorite antimicrobial blends - it's a wonderfully simple recipe - it's literally just a combination of raw garlic, fresh parsley, lemon (I used Meyer lemon just for an extra level of deliciousness), with a little pepper and salt and my favorite olive oil.
I'm a huge fan, and could honestly just eat it by itself, but it pairs really well with grilled chicken, fish etc.

Ingredients:
-
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
-
1 cup parsley leaves, finely chopped
-
Zest from one lemon - Meyer lemon preferably
-
2 tsp olive oil
-
½ tsp Himalayan pink sea salt - taste as you add it...you don’t want to over salt
-
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
-
Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl
-
Note, although many directions recommend letting it sit (in a tightly sealed container) in the fridge for ~1 hr before serving, I like to serve/eat mine within ~30 minutes of making it to ensure I'm availing of the benefits of the freshly chopped garlic.
