The Only Green Sauce You Need Recipes

THE ONLY GREEN SAUCE YOU NEED

Steps:

• Add the greens (stems and all), chives, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, avocado, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Pulse until broken down - add water by the tablespoon as needed to thin and get the blade whirring. Scrape down and pulse again until the sauce is broken down and easy to dollop with a spoon. Taste. Adjust taste as needed with more lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust consistency with more water or olive oil by the tablespoon.
• bring a small (or large depending on how many eggs you are cooking) pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. Carefully lower the eggs into the pot of boiling water. Adjust heat so water is gently simmering. Cook 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice bath.
• Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon (or more depending on how many slices of bread you are toasting) of olive oil. Toast bread on each side for 1-2 minutes, checking often to ensure the slices are browning evenly. Remove toast when the slices are golden and crisped to your liking.
• Smear green sauce over a slice of toast. Peel an egg. Cut it directly over the slice of toast into quarters. Sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with any remaining slices of toast and eggs.

ALL-PURPOSE GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place herbs, garlic and pepper in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container if necessary.
• Add yogurt and purée until smooth. (This may take a minute or so; scrape down the sides of the container as needed.) With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Pulse in lemon zest and salt. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Spoon over grilled or roasted chicken, seafood (especially shrimp and salmon), sausages, steaks, lamb chops and vegetables. Use as a marinade for chicken, lamb or pork; as a dressing for starchy salads with beans, potatoes or grains, or for hearty vegetable salads, like those with cucumbers or blanched and sliced sugar snap peas or green beans. Serve as a dip for crudité or chips. Spread in roast beef, lamb or pork sandwiches.

GOOD-ON-EVERYTHING GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the parsley, spinach, yogurt, chives, olive oil, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor until smooth and bright green. Transfer to a bowl or container, cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

THE ONLY GREEN SAUCE YOU NEED

Steps:

• Add the greens, chives, garlic, lemon juice, avocado, olive oil, salt and pepper in a blender and pulse until broken down and easy to dollop with a spoon (adding a tablespoon of water if needed to thin and get the blender going).
• Serve smeared on toast, veggies or cheese sandwiches or drizzled over grilled fish, fried eggs, savory yogurt bowls or roasted vegetables. Or, transfer to a container that just fits and top with a little more oil (to preserve the color) and refrigerate up to 1 week.
