Ingredients
Core Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 big handfuls of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 bunch of fresh basil
- 1 handful of fresh mint
- 1 handful carrot tops
- 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 8 tbsp. really good extra virgin olive oil
- a touch of manuka honey, taste test to your liking
Extras to add zing
- 1 tbsp of capers
- 1 gherkin, finely chopped
- 6 quality anchovy fillets
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Method
1. Finely grate the garlic and pick the herb leaves, then finely chop on a large board. This technique produces a much nicer salsa verde than a blender.
2. Place in a bowl, add vinegar and then slowly stir in the olive oil until you achieve the right consistency. Not too runny, but easy to stir.
3. Balance the flavours with black pepper, a bit of sea salt, honey and maybe a little more vinegar.
