Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde or Green Sauce is a great condiment you can store in a glass jar in the fridge for ages. It's an excellent topping on a chicken breast or burger or pulled pork. I had two bunches of parsley so, it was a good way to use it without wasting it.

You will Need:

• a bunch of flat Italian parsley (I use the entire bunch you get in a grocery store) I honestly don't know why they even sell curly parsley- the flat is much tastier
• 1 tbsp capers
• 1-2 anchovies- chopped
• 1 garlic clove- crushed
• 1 lemon juiced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• good olive oil
• 2 green onions
• a food processor or blender

Step 1: put parsley (stems included), capers, anchovies, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper in food processor. Blend until chopped fine.

Step 2: blend in olive oil and and lemon juice with a few pulses. You can also remove the chopped herbs into a jar or container you can seal and add oil and lemon by hand. Taste and add more lemon, salt or pepper to your taste. Store in fridge lasts for weeks.

I like it mixed in Tuna Salad.

You will need:

• 2 tsp Salsa Verde
• 1 can tuna
• 1/4 small green pepper chopped finely/ or celery
• 1 green onion chopped finely
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• salt/pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Step 1: Add all ingredients and combine.

I topped mine with some pea shoots and served on a fresh oat bread.
