Meal Ideas
Salsa verde is delicious spread on top of grilled lamb steaks, try adding it in the last five minutes of cooking. It is also fantastic with fish such as mackerel and sardines, try adding it to the fish before wrapping it in aluminum foil parcels and cooking it in the oven. For a vegetarian option, cook a tin of butter beans in the oven in olive oil and half a can of tinned tomatoes, and drizzle over the salsa verde once they are cooked and ready to eat.
