Ingredients

1 teaspoon marjoram or oregano leaves

　　1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint

　　1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

　　3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　1 small clove garlic

　　1 salt-packed anchovy, rinsed, bones removed

　　1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and drained

　　1/2 lemon, for juicing

　　Freshly ground black pepper

　　

Step 1

Using a mortar and pestle, pound the herbs to a paste. (You may have to do this in batches.) Work in some of the olive oil, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Pound the garlic and anchovy, and add them to the herbs.

　　

Step 2

Gently pound the capers until they’re partially crushed, and add them to the herbs. Stir in the remaining oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste for balance and seasoning.
