So much so that she said I should bottle it to make my fortune! The thing is, it is too fresh to bottle so I&#8217;m sharing it with you here instead. You&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<h3>All the ways you can use your green herb sauce<\/h3>\n<p>The lovely thing is that it is so simple but works with all types of meals. I made the green herb sauce to serve with a roast lamb recipe recipe I was teaching her but it is equally at home as a sauce for fish, chicken, roasted vegetables or drizzled on salads. Her family ate the leftover sauce on toast and avocado and with eggs. Basically it is a little pot of gorgeousness that will sit in your fridge ready to anoint anything you&#8217;re eating with herby freshness.<\/p>\n<p>It is a little like an Italian salsa verde but omits the anchovies which, whilst delicious, can reduce the number of ways you can use it (and also put off some people).<\/p>\n<p>If you make a batch of this it will last in the fridge for around 5 days. Just put it in a narrow necked jar with a little layer of olive oil on top to stop the air getting to the sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Green herb sauce ingredients (makes around half a jam jar full &#8211; I usually double it):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>30-60g (1-2oz) Basil or flat leaf (Italian) parsley or a mixture of the two, stalks and leaves. If you have any fennel tops\/fronds they are lovely used in this too<\/li>\n<li>2-3 heaped teaspoons Dijon mustard<\/li>\n<li>1 heaped tablespoon drained capers<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon red wine vinegar<\/li>\n<li>2-3 tablespoons good olive oil<\/li>\n<li>a quarter teaspoon of honey or sugar<\/li>\n<li>sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (start with a quarter teaspoon of each then taste and adjust)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Equipment<\/h3>\n<p>You can now buy the equipment I use in this recipe through <a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/shop\/\"><strong>my shop<\/strong><\/a>.

These small fees help me keep creating all the free content I share.<\/p>\n<h3>To make:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Put all the ingredients into a food processor or Nutribullet and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.<\/li>\n<li>Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, vinegar, honey\/sugar until you are happy. You want the sauce to be punchy and perhaps a bit too acidic on its own at this stage. Think of how it will taste when you serve it with something else like fish or vegetables &#8211; the plainer flavour of whatever you&#8217;re eating with it will balance out the acidity when it is all served together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Get more recipes like this<\/h3>\n<p>Find more recipes for <a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/recipe-category\/sauces-and-condiments\/\">sauces\/condiments<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/recipe-category\/salads\/\">salads<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cookwithgem.com\/recipe-category\/sides\/\">sides<\/a> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made this green herb sauce for a client this week and it blew her and her family away.
