Salsa Verde

Instructions

  • The best way to make salsa verde is to chop all the ingredients very finely by hand. It’s great served with our hot smoked salmon or sea trout.
  • Finely chop the garlic, capers, gherkins, anchovies and herbs and put them into a bowl. Add the mustard and vinegar, then slowly stir in the olive oil until you achieve the right consistency.  Balance the flavours with freshly ground black pepper, a bit of salt and maybe a little more vinegar.
