Equipment

mixer / blender
oven / grillpan
sieve

Ingredients

4 slices bread baguette
1 tbl spoon olive oil
8 anchovies on oil, not salted
germs or hebs decoration

Salsa verde:

2 slices old bread
½ clove garlic
1 tbl spoon capers
40 gr parsley fresh flat leave
100 ml olive oil or more if necessary
½ lemon juice
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160º.
Cut 4 wide slices from a baguette. Sprinkle them with olive oil. Place them in the oven for 10 minutes or fry them in a grill pan until light brown.
Remove the anchovies from the packaging and let them drain in a sieve.
For the salsa verde we add all the ingredients together in the blender. You may need to add additional oil. The sauce should not be too thin and the intention is that there are still chunks present.
Take the bread out of the oven and spread them generously with the green sauce. Place 2 anchovies per slice on top and finish with some extra herbs or sprouts.
To bring out the spicy flavor of the sauce, I use anchovies that have been marinated in oil instead of the salted version.

Notes

This "salsa verde" can be served as a seasoning for grilled fish, meat or vegetables. I like this sauce both in summer and winter. Just think of oven-cooked potatoes with cod and salsa verde... Delicious!

The sauce can also be used as a dip for bread or as a dressing for salads. It is a versatile sauce that adds a fresh and spicy flavor to dishes and is a classic in Mediterranean cuisine. Be sure to get started with the herbs you like...
