Ancient Green Sauce
List of Ingredients
3-4 slices Italian bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 egg, hard-boiled and shelled
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, leaves only
2 anchovy filets
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon pine nuts
extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
salt to taste
Recipe
Soak the bread in the vinegar and squeeze dry. Set aside. Chop the egg, and set aside. In the bowl of a food processor, work the parsley, anchovies, garlic, capers, and pine nuts into a paste. Add the bread and the hard boiled egg. In a slow, steady stream, add the olive oil with the motor running, until you obtain a rather fluid sauce. It should be between the texture of a mayonnaise and a creamy
salad dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and serve over roast beef, or topping a hard-boiled egg. Makes 1 cup
