Ingredients

2-3 cloves garlic , peeled
1 small handful capers
1 small handful gherkins pickled in sweet vinegar
5-6 anchovy fillets
2 large handfuls parsley
1 bunch fresh basil
1 handful fresh mint
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or half or replaced by lemon juice
125 – 250ml really good extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Optional
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 – 3 chili chopped
Lemon rind

Method

You can chop the garlic, capers, gherkins, anchovies and herbs and put them into a bowl. Add the mustard and vinegar, then slowly stir in the olive oil until you achieve the right consistency. Balance the flavours with freshly ground black pepper, a bit of salt and maybe a little more vinegar.

But it is much faster & equally delicious if you put all the ingredients into a bladed blender (not liquefy-er!) and blend until it is between coarsely chopped and fine – test & taste until you like the consistency.
