Salsa verde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salsa verde 'green sauce' is the name of two quite distinct families of sauce, one Italian and the other Mexican.
Italian salsa verde consists of chopped fresh herbs (parsley, mint, ...) and piquant flavorings such as garlic, capers, and anchovies mixed with lemon juice or vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Salsa verde is the standard accompaniment to boiled meat, as in bollito misto.
One well-known salsa verde is gremolata, the usual accompaniment to ossobuco alla milanese.
Mexican salsa verde includes tomatillos, hot green chiles, garlic, onion, and salt. It is also known as green sauce and is used in making many Mexican dishes as well as just a side.
