What you'll need...

  • Small bunch of flat leaf parsley
  • Small bunch of mint
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Lemon juice to taste
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Add some salt and the garlic to a pestle and mortar and crush to a smooth paste – the abrasive salt will help this process along. 

  2. Add the leaves of the parsley and mint to the garlic and crush until they have broken down into a paste – you can also use a food processor. 

  3. Add the oil and a squeeze of lemon and continue crushing together, adding more if necessary. Crush in the lemon zest. Lastly, season to taste and store for a week in the fridge. 

  4. Serve over cooked meats and veg, or as a salad dressing.
