MIXED HERB SALSA VERDE



Mixed herb salsa verde image

To make a really authentic, full-of-flavour salsa verde, chop up all those lovely herbs by hand

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     Vegetables Recipes     Vegetables     Sauces & condiments

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large bunch mixed soft fresh herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, basil and mint
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons capers, drained
3 cornichons
2-3 anchovy fillets, finely sliced
1 heaped tablespoon French mustard
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Salsa verde is traditionally made with parsley, but I quite like to mix it up a bit and use a bit of basil and mint in there too. Use it to jazz up meat, fish or roasted vegetables, or you could even enjoy it as a lovely dip for roasted new potatoes.
  • Pick and roughly chop the herb leaves in the centre of a large chopping board. Add the garlic, capers, cornichons and anchovies and continue chopping and mixing it all together until fine.
  • Scrape everything into a large bowl and add the mustard, extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Have a taste and season with salt and pepper. You might need to tweak the flavours a little, so keep tasting and add more oil, vinegar and seasoning if needed until you get it just right.

HOW TO MAKE GREEN SAUCE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE



How to Make Green Sauce (Vegan, Gluten Free image

This clean-out-the-fridge green sauce is the perfect way to use up leftover herbs! The recipe is more of a technique than an exact formula. You can use any leafy green herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, basil and/or mint (use just one or a mix!). Feel free to also throw in a few teaspoons of stronger herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, tarragon and/or chives. Garlic first gets blitzed in the food processor, then the herbs are added along with toasted nuts or seeds for body, and acid (in the form of lemon juice, lime juice or vinegar) for brightness. Don't skimp on the nuts, as they're essential for flavor and texture. Olive oil turns the ingredients into a lovely, spoonable sauce. For a lighter version, add a tablespoon or two of water before drizzling in the oil. Be sure to season the sauce well with salt and pepper, and aim for a good balance between the acid and the oil. The sauce is delicious as-is, but definitely check out the variations in the notes below! Spoon green sauce over meats or fish, toss it with pasta, slather it on sandwiches or drizzle it over roasted veggies or grain bowls. If you only have 1/2 cup of herbs or less, you can adapt the recipe using a mini food processor. *Check out my video above to see my herb storage tips!

Categories     Side Dish

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1-2 garlic cloves
1-3 cups lightly packed parsley, cilantro, mint and/or basil
2-4 tablespoons (or more to taste!) toasted nuts or seeds, such as pine nuts, almonds, walnuts or pumpkin seeds
Fresh lemon juice, lime juice, red wine or sherry vinegar (*see note below)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1-2 anchovy fillets
1/2-1 small shallot, chopped
1/2-1 seeded jalapeño pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or Aleppo style pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cumin
1-2 teaspoons honey
2-4 tablespoons grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
1-2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
1-2 tablespoons water (optional)
Extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a food processor with the blade running, drop the garlic through the feed tube to chop. Add the herbs (whatever you have-feel free to use a mix!) and nuts or seeds. Process until finely chopped.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice, lime juice or red wine vinegar. I usually squeeze in the juice of a 1/2 small lemon or lime, or start with about 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar (remember, you can always add more but you can't take it out!). Season with salt and pepper. If using any add-ins, add them now and puree until finely chopped.
  • If you prefer a lighter sauce, add a tablespoon or two of water. With the motor running, drizzle in extra virgin olive oil until you get a spoonable, pesto-ish consistency.
  • This is the most important step: taste the sauce! This is your time to adjust the seasonings as desired. More nuts will thicken up the sauce, a splash more acid will give the sauce more spunk, and another drizzle of olive oil will round things out. There should be a good balance of flavors, and the final result should taste good to you. If you have the time, let the sauce sit, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

All the pieces come together in this weeknight meal, which has ease of assembly that'll take away your stresses and worries about the kitchen.

The beurre blanc sauce gives the roasted chicken, something lemony, something herby, and something buttery rich. All the pieces fit, for the best dinner you've had in ages. Tip: Line 'em up!

Provided by Cheryl

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken, 3 1/2-4 pounds (1.6 - 1.8kg) , spatchcocked/flattened (Note 1 and 2)
1 tablespoon olive oil
seasonings ((salt, pepper, paprika))
1 cup (20 g) fresh herbs Note 3
2 green onions
2 garlic cloves (2 tsp), grated or minced ((or 2 frozen cubes))
lemon zest from 1 lemon ((plus optional 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice))
6 tablespoon olive oil (you can use extra-virgin olive oil if you prefer (it has a stronger taste))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or less (optional)

Steps:

  • PREPARE GRILL OR OVEN: You can grill or roast the chicken. °To grill: Clean and oil grill with cooking spray. Heat gas grill to medium high 375-425F(190-218C). °To roast: Heat oven to 400F/204C. Line a pan with or parchment sprayed with oil.
  • PREPARE CHICKEN: Optional 4-6 hours before or day before: To add flavor and juiciness to the chicken, brine it Note 4. Or marinate it Note 5. To prepare chicken for cooking (even if brined), rub olive oil over chicken and sprinkle on seasonings, front and back.
  • GRILL CHICKEN Place chicken pieces or spatchcock chicken, skin side up, on grill. Turn off burner under chicken. Try to keep temperature of BBQ at 375F-425F (190-218C). Close cover and grill for about 40 minutes or until instant meat thermometer reads 160F/71C in breast. Temperature will rise with resting. Optional: To increase browning on skin, flip chicken over, skin side down, turn on burner and grill for a few more minutes.) To grill on a cedar plank for a mild smoky flavor, here's a recipe for cedar planked chicken. Note 6 to roast chicken instead.
  • MAKE HERB SAUCE: While chicken is cooking, chop all sauce ingredients finely and combine them in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. It's a good idea to grate garlic or crush it with back of knife since it will be eaten raw. (Alternatively, pulse all ingredients in food processor - that's what I do.)
  • FINISH DISH: Spread 1/3 of aromatic smear on a large cutting board or platter. (If using platter, cut up chicken first). Place chicken on top of smear. Spoon rest of smear on top and sides of chicken. Cut chicken into pieces. Loosely cover with foil and let chicken rest for 10 minutes, allowing chicken juices to mingle with smear. Flip chicken around in the juices and herbs and serve. Garnish with fresh lemon slices if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs impart the best flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopping the herbs helps to release their flavor and distribute it evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the fish or chicken: Overcooked fish or chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the fish or chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: The sauce is best when served immediately. If you need to make the sauce ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce gently over low heat.

Conclusion:

Green herb sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of fish, chicken, and other dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Experiment with different herbs and ingredients to create your own unique green herb sauce.
