Salsa verde

Serves Makes 1 cup

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

30 g fresh Italian parsley
30 g fresh mint
30 g fresh basil
5 large cloves garlic
10 anchovy fillets
10 baby gherkins (in a sweetish brine), finely chopped
1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 T Dijon mustard
3 T lemon juice or red wine vinegar
60 g capers, drained (halve this if you’re cautious)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

1. Finely chop all the herbs, the garlic, anchovies, gherkins and place in a container.

2. Mix the olive oil, mustard, red wine vinegar (or lemon juice if you’ve decided on something zestier) and the capers. Pour over the chopped herbs and mix well. Season to taste.

Cook’s note: Alternatively, give everything a whizz in a food processor for a smooth salsa verde. You may need to add a bit more olive oil and lemon juice to get the right consistency. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or 10 days, if it lasts that long. Remember, a little goes a long way
