- typically comprising spices, garlic, onion and vinegar. And a wopping great bunch of parsley!
A traditional recipe goes something like this:
1 bunch flat-leaf Parsley
8 to 10 cloves Garlic, peeled
3 tbsp Lemon or Lime juice
1 tsp Red Chile Flakes
1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsp Oregano
1 generous tsp ground Cumin
1 small red onion, chopped
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper
a half cup Oil
Place all the ingredients except the oil in a blender and whizz till loosely pureed. Add the oil last and mix till emulsified. Don’t allow the mixture to reduce to a homogenised pulp; rather - allow the ingredients to remain identifiable!
Store in a container and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Make this as hot as suits your palate. You may prefer to use a quantity of fresh chillies instead of the dried chilli flakes - go ahead!
Variations. Some recipes I have seen include fresh basil, coriander, and even shallots! Use at your discretion..
