Ingredients

1 ½ - 2 garlic cloves (peeled)

1 small handful of capers

1 small handful of pickled gherkins

4 anchovy fillets

2 large handfuls of fresh flat leaf parsley (leaves only)

1 handful of fresh basil (leaves only)

1 handful of fresh mint (leaves only)

1 tbsp. of mustard

3 tbsp. of white wine vinegar

8 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil

Pinch of ground black pepper

Pinch of salt after taste

 

Method

The success of a good salsa Verde is to chop all the ingredients as finely as possible, almost to the consistency of a paste. This can be done by hand or in the food processor.

Finely chop all the ingredients and put them in a bowl, add the vinegar, mustard and pepper and give it a good stir. While stirring, slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil until all the ingredients are mixed together. The amount of vinegar and the anchovies will make the salsa Verde salty enough, do taste it before adding any salt. If you are using the food processor, just put all the ingredients in and push the button.
