Salsa Verde recipe
Recipe video above. Salsa Verde is the Swiss Army knife of condiments! This herby, tangy and savoury green sauce goes with so many things, especially roasted and grilled meats, seafood and vegetables. A cinch to make and with endless uses, this delicious fresh sauce should be a staple in your repertoire.Specifically, I'm sharing this recipe as it is the sauce for the Rosemary Garlic Rack of Lamb I also shared today.
