Mint Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• For the salsa verde: In a medium bowl, add the parsley, olive oil, mint, pistachios, capers, lemon juice and salt and stir with a rubber spatula until combined. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
• For the lamb: Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Dry the lamb chops well with a paper towel and season with the salt. Brush the grill with olive oil and grill the chops for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove to a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chops with some of the sauce and serve the remaining sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the halved lemon; reserve the halves. Remove the outer dark green leaves from the artichokes until only light green and yellow leaves remain. Cut off the top 1/2 inch of the artichokes. Using a paring knife, trim the stem and lightly peel around the bottom of the base where it meets the stem. Cut the artichokes in half, rub with the lemon halves and add to the lemon water.
• Make the salsa verde: Combine the mint, parsley, chile pepper, capers, anchovies, garlic and mustard in a medium bowl. Stir in the lemon juice and 6 tablespoons olive oil to make a thick, chunky sauce; season with salt. Set aside at room temperature.
• Drain the artichokes and pat dry. Toss the artichokes in a large bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt. Grill the artichokes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Toss with the salsa verde while still warm.

Steps:

• Whisk together oil, vinegar, water, garlic, shallot, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until salt has dissolved. Whisk in herbs. Let stand 20 minutes for flavors to develop.

Steps:

• Chop the herbs and garlic, mixing with 1 tsp sea salt, until very fine.
• Add the mustard and capers, and combine. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the olive oil.
• Add the vinegar, little by little, stirring and tasting as you go - trust your palate!
