No comments
A piquant 'green sauce' from Mexico that complements any platter of cold meats
 

Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch of flat leaf parsley, stalks removed
  • 6 large sprigs of mint (about 20 large leaves)
  • 6 large sprigs of basil (about 20 large leaves)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp French mustard
  • 6 anchovy fillets, rinsed
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 5–6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Preparation: 10   Total Time: 10min whats this
 

Directions

  1. If using a food processor, simply process the herbs, garlic, mustard and anchovies to a rough paste. Add the lemon juice and olive oil with the motor running until you have a thick sauce.
  2. Alternatively, crush the garlic and anchovies in a pestle and mortar and stir in the mustard. Finely chop the herbs and mix in. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and whisk to a thick sauce.
  3. Taste for seasoning and add black pepper if you like; it shouldn't need salt because of the saltiness of the anchovies.
