After 1 week of Combo meals and a week of Indian states, we continue our Buffet on Table marathon with Condiments from around the world as the theme for the week. When the themes were being finalized I wasn't really clear what a 'condiment' is. Chutneys and jams were the only condiments I knew and wasn't really sure if I would be able to find a week worth of condiment recipes from around the world to post.
A quick google search and a chat with Mir, clarified my doubts. Condiment is defined as 'something that is used to enhance the flavor of food' (Merriam Webster dictionary). According to Wiki, 'a condiment is a spice, sauce or other food preparation that is added to food to impart a particular flavor, to enhance its flavor or to complement the dish'.
I used parsley from my garden and it made the sauce taste even better. I served it with roasted vegetables and quinoa.
Recipe from here: Ingredients: Parsley leaves - 1cup, finely chopped
Fresh Lemon juice - 3tbsp
Garlic - 2 cloves, finely chopped
Hot Red pepper flakes - 1tsp (or to taste)
Extra virgin Olive oil - ¼cup
Salt - to taste
Method:
- Combine the parsley, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and red pepper in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Season with salt and add more red pepper if desired.
- Serve within a few hours; do not refrigerate.
