Submitted by: Peggy
Recipe origin: USA

This recipe comes from the “Peggy’s Table” cookbook by Heritage Cookbook creator Peggy. Gremolata is a type of seasoning typically made of finely minced parsley, garlic, and lemon zest; in this case, orange rind is used instead.

1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 pound trimmed small carrots
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts, chopped
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Preheat oven to 450℃. Toss olive oil, salt and pepper with trimmed small carrots on a baking sheet. Bake at 450℃ for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 325℃ (keep pan in oven). Bake for 10 minutes more or until tender and beginning to brown.

Combine parsley, chives, chopped toasted pine nuts, grated orange rind and minced garlic. Add to carrots, add sherry vinegar and toss. Serves 2 to 4.
