Italian Salsa Verde (Italian Green Sauce - Italian herb Sauce)

Salsa verde literally means ‘green sauce’ and variations of it are popular in different cuisines around the world. Italian salsa verde, based on parsley, is delicious drizzled over just about everything – prawns, poultry and vegetables (see video below) as well as steak. It’s an easy and delicious sauce to have in your repertoire. Other versions of salsa verde are popular in France (sauce verte), Germany (grüne Sosse), Argentina (chimichurri) and Mexico. A small tin of Ortiz anchovy fillets (47.5g) is the perfect quantity for this Italian salsa verde recipe.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken from the Chinese class the other night. Once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better than going out to restaurants as the recipes and quality are amazing.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to. And I love listening to the themed playlist while cooking.

I am absolutely loving Be Inspired! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Food, wine and travel! Three of my favourite things! Be Inspired with Roberta has been a wonderful experience and given me more confidence in the kitchen. I have learnt so much, cooked things I never would have attempted without Roberta’s excellent videos, and used ingredients I have never tried before.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from Roberta's online cooking classes. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
