7 ingredients

9 steps

What you need

  • 60 g (2 oz) flat-leaf parsley, leaves only, about 1 large bunch
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained; if salt-packed, rinse and soak 10 min
  • 4 anchovy fillets, oil- or salt-packed
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice also works
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt, to taste, only if needed

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Pick the parsley leaves off the thick stems. Wash them, then dry them very well with a towel.

  2. 2

    Pat the anchovies dry on paper towels and drain the capers.

  3. 3

    On a large board, chop the garlic, capers and anchovies together into a coarse paste.

  4. 4

    Pile the parsley on top and chop everything together for 2-3 min, until fine but still with some texture.

  5. 5

    Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the vinegar.

  6. 6

    Stir in the olive oil until the sauce looks loose and spoonable.

  7. 7

    Taste before adding any salt, since the capers and anchovies are already salty.

  8. 8

    Leave it to stand for 15 min so the flavors blend. Serve with boiled meats or grilled fish.

  9. 9

    Keep leftovers in the fridge under a thin layer of olive oil for up to 3 days.
