Zesty Green Sauce

A version of salsa verde or green sauce that I call zesty green sauce. Useful to have at any time – works with just about everything including poached eggs on toast! (Tweaked from anchovy dressing for bean salad in Cooking Times). A food processor is best but it can be pounded by hand.

(Makes enough sauce for 4 servings of pasta.)

Ingredients

10 anchovy fillets, drained
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp capers, drained
3 Tbsp grain mustard
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 Tbsp black olives, stoned
¼ cup each, basil and parsley, roughly chopped
8 – 10 Tbsp olive oil

Method

Put anchovies, garlic, capers and mustard in food processor and pulse until combined. Add lemon zest and juice, olives and herbs and chop into the paste, then pulsing on and off add the oil. Store the sauce in a lidded jar and use when required, shaking it before use.
