Salsa Verde

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 1/2 to 3/4 cup
  • Total: 10 min
  • Active: 10 min
Salsa verde is a bright, herbal accompaniment to meats, especially rich, fatty dishes like porchetta. It adds a lively freshness to almost any simple dish. It should be coarser than a pesto, but also more spreadable. Variables can be infinite: anchovy, lemon juice and Dijon mustard can deepen the flavor and balance the parsley; different herbs can be added or substituted to taste.
