Ingredients

Scale
  • Large handful basil leaves
  • Large handful mint leaves
  • Medium handful parsley leaves
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 8 tbsp good quality olive oil
  • 1/2 – 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Finely chop basil, mint and parsley leaves. Transfer to a bowl and mix together.
  2. Roughly chop capers.
  3. Finely slice spring onion, then using your knife mince again so it becomes very fine.
  4. Chop anchovies into small pieces and then with a fork mash them up into a paste.
  5. Add capers, spring onion and anchovies to the herbs and mix them together.
  6. Pour olive oil and lemon juice over the herb mixture and again combine very well.
  7. Taste the salsa to see if the balance is right. Add a little more lemon juice if needed.
  8. Leave the salsa verde to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes so the oil can soak into the herbs and release itself again. Over this time the flavours will also develop and the sauce become richer in taste and texture.
