This sauce from the Lombardy region of Italy is a fantastic companion to meat. A dollop on top is all you need! I also mix this with plain pasta as a variation on basil pesto. There are a number of different ways to do this. Optional basil and mint or dijon mustard or parmesan cheese can be added, but here's the basic recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh parsley, leaves only |
1/4 cup pine nuts |
2 tablespoons capers |
1 garlic clove |
3 anchovy fillets |
red wine vinegar, to taste |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt & pepper |
1 cup basil leaves (optional) |
1/2 cup mint leaf (optional) |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (optional) |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. Blend all the ingredients in a blender or with pestle and mortar.
2. Leaving it to stand for a while allows the flavors to develop.
3. Mix with pasta or place a dollop on meat or fish.
4. Enjoy!
