Green Sauce 

We have many variations on green sauce, but here’s the one we just used: 

Add

  • ½ cup pitted meaty green olives
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 small bunch chopped scallions or chives
  • 1 garlic clove6 anchovy filets
  • juice of half a lemon

to a food processor. 

Purée, drizzling in about 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer to a bowl. 

Stir in about 1 tablespoon finely chopped preserved lemon rind, if you have some on hand 1–2 tablespoons capers. 

Adjust seasonings.
