Leafy Salsa Verde With Yogurt Recipes

SALSA WITH YOGURT

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in a bowl.
• Mix well.
• Serve.

LEAFY SALSA VERDE WITH YOGURT

Steps:

• Whizz everything, except the yogurt, in a food processor or using a stick blender until it's the consistency of fresh pesto.
• Spoon the yogurt into a shallow serving bowl and spread it out, making swirly indents in the yogurt. Pour the herby dressing on top so it sits in little pools that you can ripple into the yogurt. Top with a few small basil leaves. Serve with crunchy salad vegetables like radishes, fennel and chicory.

FRIED SAGE SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the shallots and vinegar, and set aside for 15 minutes to soften. In a medium bowl, combine parsley, olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Pour the neutral oil into a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. After 2 minutes, add a sage leaf to test the temperature. (The oil should be around 360 degrees.) When the sage leaf sizzles, add the rest of the sage and stir with a slotted spoon or spider. As soon as the bubbles subside, after about 20 seconds, remove the herbs from the oil and spread them out onto the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly with salt. The sage will get crisp as it cools.
• Just before serving, use a slotted spoon to add the shallots (but not the vinegar, yet) to the parsley oil. Stir, taste and add salt and vinegar as needed to achieve a nice tang. Crumble and stir the sage into the salsa. The final sauce should be loose enough to drizzle from a spoon, so adjust with a little more oil if needed, then taste and adjust with salt and vinegar one last time before serving. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. It makes an excellent accompaniment for Thanksgiving dishes, as well as any other roasted meats, vegetables or grilled fish.
