Ingredients

4 servings
  • 5 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tomatoes (, seeded and diced into 0.8cm (1/3") cubes (Note 1))
  • 12 black olives (, pitted and cut into strips (Spanish, kalamata, or other))
  • 2 anchovy fillets (, very finely minced (Note 2))
  • 1/2 tsp garlic (, very finely minced)
  • 1 tsp parsley (, finely chopped (Note 3))
  • 1/2 tsp chives (, finely chopped (Note 3))
  • 1/2 tsp tarragon leaves (, finely chopped (Note 3))
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. Mix: Mix ingredients in a bowl. Taste and add more salt if you want (depends how salty the food you are putting it on is).

  2. Uses: Use at room temperature as a salsa / sauce, piled onto fish (such as Tuna Steak), other seafood, grilled or steamed vegetables, chicken, pork, over pasta, piled onto bread, or even as a dip for scooping up with crostini or corn chips! You can also warm the sauce if you wish: Gently heat in a small pot and warm to blood temperature. Do not simmer or boil or you'll lose the freshness!

  3. Storage: Use immediately on making, or the next day. Keep in a very airtight container and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
