Italian Salmoriglio Sauce

Salmoriglio is an Italian sauce used for grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. As soon as I made it, I was hooked! Pour it on top of boring roasted chicken or veggies and you will suddenly have a gourmet meal. You will love it- I promise!

Ingredients

            •          1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 2 lemons) 

            •          4 garlic cloves, finely grated (about 2 teaspoons)** 

            •          1½ teaspoons salt 

            •          1/2 teaspoon red pepper chili flakes 

            •          1 teaspoon dried oregano 

            •          1 tablespoon water 

            •          3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

            •          1/4 cup neutral oil such as avocado 

            •          a few sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

 

 

Directions:

Combine the lemon juice, garlic, salt, chili flakes, oregano and water in a small bowl. Slowly pour in the oils, whisking constantly. Stir in the parsley.

Stir briskly just before using; the lemon and garlic will have settled to the bottom. Salmoriglio is best used the day it’s made, but will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
