Kitchen hack: This 5-ingredient sauce goes with EVERYTHING

Pasta, meat, fish, crudité, EVERYTHING

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.
