An orange-flavoured gremolata helps take sautéed mixed vegetables to the next level. Classic gremolata is made with parsley, garlic, and lemon, but substitutes are welcome. Change out the herbs, swap a shallot for the garlic, or use a different type of citrus as we have here. Gremolata is often sprinkled over osso buco (braised lamb shanks), but it is also excellent over cooked whole baby potatoes, grilled or broiled chicken breasts, or grilled or broiled fish or shrimp. We’ve served it with a mix of summer’s best produce—string beans, summer squash, and bell pepper—but it works well with pretty much any vegetable.

Ingredients

Fresh parsley

3 tbsp(s), flat leaf, chopped

Fresh tarragon

2 tbsp(s), chopped

Orange zest

3 tsp(s)

Shallots

2 large, chopped (about 1/3 cup)

String beans

1½ cup(s), trimmed

Carrots

2 large, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchstick strips (about 2 cups)

Yellow summer squash

1 medium, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchstick strips (about 2 cups)

Red bell pepper

1 medium, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchstick strips

Add squash, bell pepper, broth, orange juice, salt, and black pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 4 minutes longer.
