Lamb with Salsa Verde

I have been enlightened to the virtues of Salsa Verde after reading Cal Peternell’s Twelve recipes. I have always served a lot of pestos but sometimes a thinner bolder sauce is a better compliment to what you’re serving as in the case of these lamb shoulder chops.

I concocted this version out of some of my favorite go to ingredients. Finely mince or combine together in a food processor a generous handful of fresh parsley, a large clove of garlic, a couple of anchovy fillets, kosher salt, and a quarter teaspoon of red chili flakes. Then simply whisk in a half a cup of extra virgin olive oil and let sit for an hour at room temperature before serving. Barbeque season is here…be bold!
