Salsa Verde #3 recipe
information
If you can find only capers pickled in vinegar, they can be used for this salsa but they must be rinsed well in cold water first.
ingredients
There are many versions of this classic green salsa. Serve this one with creamy mashed potatoes or drizzled over the top of chargrilled squid.
2 - 4 green chillies
8 spring onions
2 garlic cloves
50 g (2 oz) salted capers
fresh tarragon sprig
1 bunch of fresh parsley
grated rind and juice of 1 lime
juice of 1 lemon
90 ml (6 tbsp) olive oil
about 15 ml (1 tbsp) green Tabasco, or to taste
ground black pepper
8 spring onions
2 garlic cloves
50 g (2 oz) salted capers
fresh tarragon sprig
1 bunch of fresh parsley
grated rind and juice of 1 lime
juice of 1 lemon
90 ml (6 tbsp) olive oil
about 15 ml (1 tbsp) green Tabasco, or to taste
ground black pepper
method
1. Halve the green chillies and remove their seeds. Trim the spring onions and halve the garlic, then place in a food processor or blender. Pulse the power briefly until the ingredients are roughly chopped.
2. Use your fingertips to rub the excess salt off the capers but do not rinse them. Add the capers, tarragon and parsley to the food processor or blender and pulse again until they are fairly finely chopped.
3. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Stir in the lime rind and juice, lemon juice and olive oil. Stir the mixture lightly so the citrus juice and oil do not emulsify.
4. Add green Tabasco and black pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve but do not prepare more than 8 hours in advance.
