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.
