Celery salsa verde

Recipe | Aug 24 2021

A good green sauce is a thing of beauty and is perfect served with any type of fatty meat. This one has a little celery in it which gives it a slightly different flavour and a bit of added texture. It will keep for a day or two in the fridge but is at its finest when freshly made.

Serves 6
