Instructions
Food processor method
- Put all ingredients in a food processor and blitz to a smooth but rough texture.
- Pour into a ramekin or small mason jar for later or serve immediately.
By hand
- Place all ingredients except the olive oil and lemon juice on a cutting board in a small pile. Finely chop everything together until it's finely chopped and combined.
- Add the chopped mixture to a small bowl and add the olive oil and lemon juice, stir to combine and serve.
Notes
- Anchovies -
- Red pepper flakes -
- Ways to use this sauce - serve this sauce with cooked vegetables, with eggs, on top of hearty soups, steak or on sandwiches such as our slow cooker Italian pulled pork and focaccia sandwich!
- Anchovies - If you're not a fan of anchovies don't worry this sauce does not have a fishy taste it just adds seasoning. If you'd rather skip them make sure to taste the sauce for additional salt and add as needed.
- Red pepper flakes - this ingredient is optional, I just add a small pinch so it adds flavour without too much heat.
- Leftovers and freezing - leftovers will store well in the fridge (covered) for 3-5 days or can be frozen. Thaw completely before using.
