It’s know as green sauce in our house,
and is a staple of many nations - an accompaniment to fish, steak chicken, potatoes, or in my case- an omelette!
Whatever you call it, it’s a brilliant way to include lots of herbs into your meals.
Parsley
Mint
Basil
Chives
Dandelion leaves…
Together with cold pressed olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice and a whole host of other options,
It’s a powerhouse of nutrients and a great way to include herbs in large quantities for an antioxidant hit.
My go to is salsa verde - sometimes with a little chilli, 🌶️ chimichurri style. Salsa Verde
2 handfuls parsley
1 handful mint
1 clove garlic
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp capers
1/2 lemon (juice and zest)
100ml (ish) olive oil
Maldon salt (to taste)
Place the ingredients in a food processor and blend until a smooth sauce. Store in the fridge in a sealed jam jar for up to 3-4 days.
