Wild Garlic Salsa Verde
This wild garlic salsa verde is a piquant green sauce made with wild garlic leaves. It's packed with taste and can be served with a variety of dishes to add flavour and colour.
Ingredients
- 50 g wild garlic leaves
- 120 ml olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder or 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon grated lemon rind optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the olive oil, a tablespoon of vinegar, lemon zest, mustard powder and seasoning in a mixing bowl.
- Wash and dry the wild garlic leaves. Chop finely with a large knife or herb chopper.
- Stir the chopped wild garlic into the oil and vinegar mix. Taste and add a little more vinegar if desired.
Notes
- Include other herbs such as mint, parsley, basil etc if you like. You can also add a tablespoon of capers or 1 or 2 anchovies.
- Lemon rind is optional but goes especially well if you are serving the green sauce with fish.
- Adjust the vinegar to suit your taste. I like the sauce quite acidic, but start with the lower amount and add more if desired.
- If you prefer you can make the sauce in a food processor or with a hand blender. Add the washed leaves to the blender along with all the other ingredients and blitz until chopped and mixed. You'll end up with a finer textured salsa verde.
- Wild garlic salsa verde is the perfect condiment with meats, fish and veggie dishes. Try it with roast lamb, chicken or salmon. It also adds a delicious punchy flavour to lentils.
