Salmoriglio
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 plump garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon peperoncino (hot red pepper flakes)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
- Put all the ingredients except the parsley into a bowl, stir together briefly, and let it steep for 1/2 hour to an hour, to develop flavor.
- Stir, and taste the sauce; add more salt or lemon juice if you like.
- Just before serving, add parsley and stir.
- Serve the salmoriglio at room temperature; stir the sauce well to blend, and remove the garlic slices only if you wish to.
- Spoon over fish and other foods.
- A favorite of mine for grilled fish, like the Grilled Cod Steaks on page 302, or any grilled fish, chicken, or lamb.
- Very good with Poached Veal Tongue (page 360).
- A wonderful dressing for steamed vegetables or a green salad.
