Shirley's Salsa

This is a goodie.


Handful mint (apple mint if possible)
Handful basil
Handful parsley
tablespoon rinsed capers
tablespoon chopped gherkins (those little ones)
couple cloves garlic
6 (or so) anchovy fillets (if you can get the Spanish ones preserved in salt then lucky you and tell me where you get 'em - use 2 whole ones, cleaned and rinsed)
tablespoon Dijon mustard


Shove all in processor and switch on, adding a couple tablespoons olive oil while machine whizzes, into a rough, deliciously scented green sauce.
Sharpen to taste with lime or lemon juice.
Good with anything, but has particular affinity with barbecued lamb.

(And for someone who's so hot on spelling and grammar it AMAZES me how often I have to go back and edit a spelling mistake. Think am getting too pedantic for own good, actually.)
