Gremolata is a mixture of finely chopped herbs, citrus zest, and garlic or shallots, classically sprinkled on top of Osso Bucco, an Italian braised veal shank dish. The fresh flavor and color of this garnish will brighten any winter meal. We make this one with parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, perhaps the most classic combination of this tasty topping. Meatless sausages are a fuss-free, easy source of plant-based protein. To make this even simpler, purchase precooked beets, cut them into wedges, and add them to the pan when the sausages go on.
