Kitchen hack: This 5-ingredient sauce goes with EVERYTHING

Pasta, meat, fish, crudité, EVERYTHING

Sophie White

This sauce will revolutionise your culinary world. No joke. It’s great with chicken, meat, fish, pasta, even spread it on a sandwich to give the usual mayo/mustard combo a break.

5-ingredient Salsa verde

Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 cloves of garlic

1 cup of tightly packed parsley

1/2 a cup of olive oil (extra virgin)

1 tablespoon capers

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1 Place all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth and well combined.

2 Check the seasoning and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Done.

Variations: If you want to get a bit fancier on this bad boy, add 1 teaspoon of dijon for a bit more kick, or a couple of anchovy fillets for an even richer, savoury flavour.

NOTE: You can freeze the salsa verde but always thaw at room temperature never in the microwave as this will impact on the flavour and cause the herbs to brown.
