Green sauce
We serve this salty, versatile sauce with our breaded chicken. It’s also a fine accompaniment to fish or lamb, or a dressing for potatoes. It will keep in the fridge for a week and, once you see how it makes or breaks a meal, you’ll use it for all sorts of dishes. Try it to dress a purple-sprouting broccoli salad or serve it over braised beans and marinated feta. We have omitted garlic for a smoother flavour, but feel free to include a couple of cloves.
