Salsa Verde recipe
Report
Recipe video above. Salsa Verde is the Swiss Army knife of condiments! This herby, tangy and savoury green sauce goes with so many things, especially roasted and grilled meats, seafood and vegetables. It's featured in my Rosemary Garlic Rack of Lamb recipe.This Salsa Verde version is a variation on traditional Italian Salsa Verde, made with basil, parsley and mint, giving a lovely balance where no one herb dominates. It's a softer, more rounded and less pungent version which I feel is a bit more versatile for use.Want a classic Italian Salsa Verde? Add garlic and anchovies, and only use parsley.
