Recipe Notes

This Salsa Verde is the classic Spanish sauce. There are as many recipes for Salsa Verde as there are ways to use this fantastic sauce. The flavor is both strong and subtle, and it pairs easily with something as delicate as mussels or sole – but it will also hold up to lamb, roast chicken, or grilled pork tenderloin.

Many recipes call for anchovies instead of the green olives. The briny flavor of both makes for a great sauce: salty, umami, and a bit sharp.

"Parsley - the jewel of herbs, both in the pot and on the plate."
