Notes
I would recommend chopping the herbs finely using a sharp knife. You could use your food processor if you want to, but you’ll need to be careful not to pulse the mixture too much, or you won’t be able to preserve its chunky texture.
Depending on your taste preference, you can also choose to add some red pepper flakes or any other herbs or seasonings of your choice.
The easiest way to store your leftover basil and parsley gremolata is to transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it.
When stored carefully, it should stay good for up to a week in the fridge.
