Introduction

Traditional gremolata is a feathery mix of finely rendered parsley, garlic and lemon zest. This feisty spin-off—made in seconds in a food processor—comes from "Vegetables I Can't Live Without," by Mollie Katzen, and replaces the parsley with arugula and offers the option of oranges zest in place of lemon zest.
