The addition of chopped egg gives this salsa a creamy consistency, yet it’s still sharp, thanks to the flavours of red wine vinegar and mustard. Chef Martin Boetz of Cooks Co-op suggests you serve it up alongside grilled vegetables, roasted meats, chicken or fish.

Ingredients

4 eschalots, finely diced

100ml red wine vinegar

2 cloves garlic, peeled

3 anchovy fillets in oil

4 stalks thyme, leaves only

4 stalks rosemary, leaves only (about 2 tbsp)

1 tsp Dijon mustard

½ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 hard-boiled egg

1 tbsp baby capers

Salt and cracked black pepper, to season

White sugar (optional)

Method

1.

Place eschalots in a mixing bowl and cover with red wine vinegar.

2.

In a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic, anchovies, thyme and rosemary leaves together to form a paste. Add paste to red wine vinegar and eschalots, and mix in mustard.

3.

Coarsely chop parsley leaves and egg and fold these through the prepared dressing with the capers.

4.

Season with salt and pepper and perhaps a touch of white sugar to balance the flavours.
