This sauce is inspired by the cilantro salsa verde sauce. This is a kind of spicy green sauce that is perfect with lamb, beef, steak, osso buco, roasted peppers, or eggplant. There are many variations of the sauce. The Mexican one is based on green tomatoes and peppers. The Spanish one is based on a sofrito of onion and garlic. The Italian version is made with parsley and anchovies. So you can experiment all you want. Use any herbs you like. Mint, parsley, dill, basil will do. Add onion, garlic, chili peppers. All at your discretion.
